Eyesores in the way? Yes (5)
I believe the answer is:
styes
'eyesores' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'way? yes' is the wordplay.
'way?' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'st'+'yes'='STYES'
'in the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for styes that I've seen before include "They make it difficult to see" , "Eyelid swellings" , "Problems seeing" , "Eyesores" , "Eye troubles" .)
