No, hence the term "blind as a bat." They use sonar to navigate.

Learn How To Improve Eyesight!

"Do flying foxes have poor eyesight like other bats?" They typically have large eyes which provide them with a relatively good level of vision, especially when light levels are getting lower. "First, are fruit bats and flying foxes the same thing?" That depends upon how it's being used. While it may refer to all fruit bats, others restrict 'flying foxes' for only fruit bats in a genus called Pteropus. As they say in Germany, jein (yes and no)! "Secondly, is their eyesight as bad as other bats?" It's better when light is available than most other bats. However, bat eyesight is generally better than many people suppose. For example, "as blind as a bat" makes little sense, seeing as bats aren't blind.

Sorry to burst every bodies bubble, but most bats can actually see quite well. They do rely more on their echolocation however as it gives them a more precise location of prey. Bats are NOT blind, if they were...why on earth would they have EYES. That is just an old saying.

ok, bats have very bad eyesight, they use sonar waves(or sound waves), and screetches that bounce off their soroundings, there was this kid on the news a while ago, who is blind, he make sthis clicking noise with his mouth and it bouces off the things around him and he knows what pretty much everything is
