Can blind people see light?

Question

If you're blind, do you only see total darkness? What about daytime - can you see light if you look towards the sun?

Answer 1

My mom is blind in one eye from birth. She says that the bad eye sees shadows of light and dark. She can tell that there is something in front of her, but she cannot tell what it is. If she looks at the sun, it is just a lighter shade but no clarity, just shadowy images.

Answer 2

Good question... i have no clue but i know what you mean.. like when i look in the light i can see it but i think its just because the eyelid is so thin that light shines through but if you was blind i dont think that you would be able to see it though. So no would be my answer.

Answer 3

It all depends on what caused the blindness. I've taken care of patients that could only see shadows. Some see nothing. Others can't see to their sides (peripherally). Some see a brightness.
