Can Blind People Tell A Difference In Lighting?

Question

Can blind people tell a difference like if they are in a light room as opposed to a dark room. Because you know how when you close your eyes you can still see light to some extent. I've always been curious on this topic. Thanks!

Answer 1

it would depend on the degree of blindness.  i am totally blind, so the only clue i would have would be the click of the switch.  i have no light perception at all.

Answer 2

Depends on their degree of blindness.

Answer 3

There are different degrees of being blind. There are some who could distinguish between changes in light levels and some who cannot. It depends on the cause of their blindness.
