A member asked:

If you are completely blind in both eyes, what do you "see"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: In fact if you are totally blind, you will see nothing - not even light from dark. But if you acquired blindness as an adult, your brain will sometimes provide images that can seem like real vision.
