Not really sure if this is an answer but I find useful to look away from the board for a few seconds. When you look again you have "new eyes" and might see something you've been missing.

One thing that happens to me sometimes is bishop blindness. Out of nowhere a bishop just takes a piece of mine. My way of coping with this is just by paying special attention to the opponents bishops, especially if they are near the side of the board where I seem to forget about them more often.
So much this. I lose a large percentage of games to a stealth bishop on the back rank that has never been developed. They're like invisible land mines to me. But I have actual vision problems so I have to be looking dead at a thing to see it. Still... haven't figured out how to fix this after thousands of games.
You probably just need to slow down a bit. Once you analyze your position. Go to make your move. Close your eyes for a second or take a deep breath and look at the board again. No matter how confident you feel.
The chess boot camp guy on YouTube talks about it. It makes a difference. Gradually over time you will get to read the bored better. I would limit blitz games as well.

My brain also struggles with lateral or zigzag motions. It's the first thing that goes if I get tired...I just don't notice that bishops and knights exist.
