What Do Blind People See?

How do blind people see the world? Do they see pitch blackness?

In this video, I'll break down why the answer to this question is a little complicated and describe:

- The different types and causes of blindness
- How these different eye conditions affect what you see (along with simulations of exactly how the world would look different)
- What blind people see in their dreams

Visual, laser demos make abstract concepts much clearer and easier to understand, showing exactly how light is being focused by your eyes and corrective eyewear/contacts.

What other eye-related topics would you like me to talk about? 👀

I still can’t comprehend seeing NOTHING 😭 “your knee doesn’t see pitch black, it sees nothing” brother what I still don’t get it

[Iexistforaliving]

Dreamless sleep. You don't see black if you sleep without dreaming, you see nothing due to faded consciousness and the absence/lack of thoughts. You see what your brain empty of thoughts/blank mind would see, which is nothing. This is arguably the best explanation of what completely blind people see since everyone can experience it.

As a nearsighted person, the thing I hate the most is being called out for taking off or avoiding my glasses when looking at things up close, my family doesn’t get the fact that I can’t see well with my glasses when the object is way too close

[ThWoWy]

The chances you could have a sort of eye issue as an adult in these percentages is genuinely scary.



I hate to be one of THOSE guys but WOAH 395 likes?!? tysm!

I’m glad I’m not blind. I don’t want to lose my vision. I always take good care of my eyes, I guess.

[Majestee.]

Visually impaired person here. This was the best explanation on blindness I've ever seen on YouTube. 100% accurate.

[ThWoWy]

I know a viral video when I see one. The way you condensed so much information into a short and easy video is incredible!

[Daves_Faves]

After I had my stroke at just 31yo, I was left with a single blind spot in my right eye. The left has learned to compensate for the missing spot of vision, but when I cover my good eye...listen to the man in the video, because he hits the nail right on the head. My blind spot sees literally "nothing". Its the craziest thing to try to describe, and I can tell you for certain that I could never imagine what "seeing nothing" would look like when I still had total vision.

[OTRUCT]

Wow, an understated channel answering a question that we all have!

[ForeverDyingRainbow]

I love this video very informative before I clicked on it I thought "only about 4 mins to learn how blind people experience life. that's not too much time to see from someone elses life..." I like how you put everything in a short form video for everyone to easily understand thank you for putting this video out

[mr_asbestos]

this is crazy that this only has 51 view's and you only have 1.85K subs I thought you would have way more on the quality of this video. Cool vid>

Sometimes, blind people see more than others. I work on an own little story about an invisible man. After being practically nonexistent to his surroundings for weeks, he gets severe depression and thinks of ending, but then he meets a blind woman who talks to him like everything's normal. She cannot see him just like she cannot see anyone, so there's no difference for her. They go out regularly and he finally feels alive again.
I find it a sweet little story idea.

Can I use this video with tamil language subtitles to reach more patients.
You are use of words are crisp and clearer for anyone to understand.

My young cousin lost his eyesight at 30 years old because of diabetes. He said all he sees is total darkness. I feel for him. The thought of that is terrifying to me. My cousin however is one of the nicest and most positive people I know. I've never seen or heard him be sad. He's so strong.

As I write this, I'm nearly recovered from a Vitrectomy.

In January of 2005, playing with a pen and a rubber band (from all the places, the stupid pen had to impact in my eye), I scratched my left eye's cornea. After 3 surgeries (one to close the injury, other to put an intraocular lens and a failed atempt to clear remains of a cataract that formed from either one of first 2 with laser surgery [quite frankly, I don't remember why I had a laser surgery. That's probably why I had the main issue]), in 07/26/24 I decided to have "one last surgery".

I never took it for many reasons, which go from not being in the mood or doctors saying "We have no clue what to do lmao", until I met this doctor (Huge thanks to that doctor).

For almost 20 years I've being seeing with only 1 eye. Trying to see with the bad one, just imagine this, a window covered by steam, but x20. I only saw shadows, light and some movement. Even if doctors put their palm in front of my left eye by 10 cm (4 inches), I couldn't see a single finger. Also, my left eye tended to move more to the left.

With the last surgery, my sight went from 1% to almost 60%. I see things with some detail if they are close enough (letters includes), I see people, and finally, I see the 5 fingers from a hand (lmao). I knew I woulnd't recover in a 100%, but it's enough for me. Now super thick glasses wait for me lol.

Moral of the story, never underestimate your eyes, take care of them. It applies for the rest of your body and your mind.

I know a blind girl and she has the most beautiful eyes and a great personality

[Monkeymario.]

[asias_world]

In may, i had a surgery because i needed to have an eye prosthesis so I'm blind from one eye and i see some colours, it depends of the light, sometimes i see what i see with my healthy eye but that's because i remember the place that i went before i had the surgery, then, sometimes when there's so much light outside i see like a type of white or grey but it has a little big of light. But normally i see brown, black etc...hope this helped some people to answer their questions! You can ask me something if you want to! (I don't think i could answer quickly so don't wait too much for any answer, i'm busy! Sorry if i don't respond!)

[tom-kzpb]

I have an amputated eye, replaced with a plastic prosthesis. Sometimes I've had people ask if I can see with it. No, a plastic eye is blind, and you don't see "darkness". Just nothing. One way that I would try to explain it would be to ask, "What can you see of the inside of your shoe, with your foot?"
