What do blind people see?

Question

is it just all black, all white, what?

Answer 1

Blind people see black.  

Answer 2

Color blind sees in black and white. Blind people just can't see. I really wonder what blind people see. I think they see black. Not sure. Ask one.

Answer 3

Depends on how blind.  Many blind people see reasonably well, just not a lot of detail. Hold a piece of gauze or several layers of saran wrap over your eyes for an idea.  Others have very poor vision, but can see shapes and shadows.  Look through the bottom of a coke bottle for an example.

If totally blind with no light perception, then they see neither black nor white, they see nothing.  For an example of this, look forward.  What does the stuff behind you look like when you are looking forward?  Neither black, nor white, just not there.
