A lot of movies, especially horror movies (I’m watching one now) depict blind people as not having pupils. But my understanding, based on blind people I’ve met, is that the problem is usually in the lens or the retina, and that they have pupils the same as everyone else. Are there actually blind people out there whose eyes are 100% white, or is that purely a Hollywood invention?

      yeah its usually portrayed as a milky white so I always took it as cataracts.

      Probably that. Fortunately it’s rare in the developed world as it can be fixed by a routine operation.
