I think because some blind people have very sensitive eyes, and the light hurts them.
Blindness is a weird thing - there are different types of blindness. Some blind people can actually "see" normally, at least their eyes are no different than ours. But their blindness originates in their brain, and their brain is unable to make sense of the images, so sight is useless to them.
Other people have actual damage to their eyes, and see nothing.

Many blind people have problems with the physical appearance of their eyes--they might be crossed or go off at different angles or they may appear cloudy. They wear the sunglasses in order to hide the appearance of their eyes so that they do not make sighted people uncomfortable, which could cause sighted people to treat them differently.

Because they are sometimes still slightly affected by bright light. In addition to this, blind people get a film of white over there eyes, I think its a vanity thing- I know I would if I were blind.

To be more socially accepted. People tend to be bothered by how some blind persons eyes may appear.

I think it's mostly for other people's benefit. Some blind people's eyes constantly roll around and people are always staring, so they wear sunglasses.

apart from continual sunburn to the eyeballs which can cause some form of cancer, they block out the rays that filter through and distort already distorted visions in grey hues that only some blind people can see..

Did you ever see a blind person's eyes...for some, there is uncontrollable movement in the eyes.

Because most blind people are famous, and don't want to be slowed down by autographs.

To hide what their eyes look like and protect them from light sensitivity, if that is an issue for them.
