Just noticed she is blind (2 month old Platy), the other fish are very non-aggressive, but they do pick on her a bit, she is always running back and forth, but it is a real loner..., eats fine...just looks real out of place as her disabilty is making her really stand out as a loner being picked on, any advice?

If you can afford one, put her alone in a smaller tank or bowl (or put her in there with a pleco. They are completely non-agressive and will only grow as large as the tank will allow.). She can live a happy, full life (as long as she is eating...keep an eye on this) as long as none of the other fish will pick on her. They will continue to do so as long as they are all together. Very survival of the fittest, fish are.

i had a fish that had no eyes, and most of his fins were eaten off (after a rough fight with an Angel fish which I quickly got rid of). Anywho, this fish lived for about 5 years like that and never had a problem. So, yea, your fish should be fine.

Normally in a tank they can adjust and live fairly normal lives. I would say let it be and allow it to live as it can.
