A crazy thing to ask.Bats do have eyes and they see through their eyes like everything else.They fly easily at night cause they are noctural creatures.Their flying is guided by their ability to ECHO LOCATE objects,even in total darkness.By echolocation,bats constantly send out high pitched sound waves which on striking nearby objects return back to them.Through the time taken for the sound to travel and return back to them they are able to determine the distance of objects from them.Its a complex procedure gifted by god to them.Hope this satisfies your querry.

yes ofcourse they have eyes lol
n they actually have relatively good eyesight...which kinda throws the saying "blind as a bat" down the toilet.
they fly easily at ngiht due to a sense they have that we dont....they use somthing called echolocation...Echolocation is the system bats use to navigate in the dark when hunting prey...they send out an echo and it bounces off objects, in this case it bounces off lunch lol the insects the bats hunting, and is picked up again by the bat as it bounces back...this tells the bat exactly where the insect is and when the bat sends out more than one in a short period of time, this even tells the bat how fast lunch is moving...making it easy for the bat to track it, catch it and eat it.
and because it bounces off things, this also stops the bat from crashing into things which would be most unfortunate...lol i mean if you were trying to catch some lunch and you smacked into a wall or tree, you wouldnt be too happy...luckily this doesnt happen to bats...lucky things.
so pretty much they send out pulses that spread out like a torch light. then bounce back to the bat telling it where everything is....this is the main way they know where they are going but eye sight still comes in handy and they are most certainly not blind

Of course they have eyes ...but thats not how they fly so well at night.Bats use echo-location to fly...they emit a series of high pitched squeaks and use the bounce back from these sounds to determine what is in their way and whether or not its edible...like a bug.

They have eyes, they're NOT blind, they eat insects, and locate them by using "Sonar", an amazing little creature, that eat's millions of mosqiuto's every night, they are a HUGE help to the environment, 99% of all bats just eat fruit or insects, they are misunderstood, and given a bad rep because, they are "Nocturnal" (feed at night), because of them working all night, there are less mosquito's on YOU.

Bats are like mice or other small mammals--they all have eyes. They navigate by making sounds and listening for the echoes. this tells them that their flight path is clear or obstructed. Bats have sensitive ears to do this.

Yes they have eyes but these are not their primary means of of finding their way around
They use echo location/sonar/radar by sending a high pitch sound in front of them and it bounces off object and back to them.
Its a bit like sonar in submarines and radar for aircraft

Bats do have eyes and can see. However they do use echo location since there is very little light at night.

Yes, bats have eyes but they use their ears more to "see" through the dark. They shriek and use their ears as radars to paint a picture of their surroundings just like how a submarine navigates the waters.

So what are their eyes for anyway? They're for watching out for their mothers-in-law.

Duh, why are we under the birds section?

Yes they do. They have 2 eyes like other animals but navigate their way in the dark through radar.

Yes they have eyes, but they don't have very good vision. They use echolocation to maneuver their way through the dark.
