Blind People Answer Commonly Googled Questions About Being Blind 

Radian this cracked me up 🤣😭

I can relate to this on a deep level.🙏

PSP 😩

So trueee

I can tell who’s coming in the door by the sound of them unlocking the door and the jingle of the keys. 😂

Exactly 😳

I think they meant blind people who don't have an actual eye/a glass eyeball. The answer to that depends but it is typically no, tears can't form.

I think the question was more about if their eyes don't work, do tear glands work too ? it did not ask if they get sad or not, it only asked if that feeling is expressed the same way seeing people do it , aka crying, tears, wailing, screaming etc...

I think they misunderstood the question. I think it was asking whether they are still able to produce tears, not if they feel sadness.

@@belalabusultan5911 I'm in the comment section to type this exact thing. They misinterpreted the question

Exactly

I mean the cry one is understandable. I don't think they meant about emotions, but rather if their eyes don't work, do their tear glands do?

Same 😂 🤣

Do regular people breath

Real Athletes that's a good way to put it i didn't know what they meant

Everyone is saying what is talking about that if she doesn't see black then what does she actually see? Let me tell you: When you close your one eye what do you see from that eye? Like do a practical right now You dont se either black or white or Wathavere you are thinking you see nothing

Tencrotch I like your question so much lol (legally blind person here)

Tencrotch I know you were joking, but they’re probably told by their family at a young age. Deaf people probably know that it is appropriate.

By being told. Many children born with deafness are unaware that their fart makes a noise until someone else mentions it

Right. Did somebody throw acid on her? I need answers

I Forgot I don’t think it just happens

Kyle Davis Retinal detachment can happen. If your virtuous detached it can lead to your retina becoming detached as well. You can also go blind from diabetic retinopathy. High blood sugar can lead to eventual blood vessel damage in your eyes which can detach the retina or just simply cause blindness. That’s a couple of the every day reasons for blindness that no one talks about.

I Forgot Possibly diabetic retinopathy. Much like losing a limb due to diabetes you can simply go blind from it

@@kyledavis4202 she had some neurogical problems and they did a surgery for lazy eyes. Basically they put a wrong diagnosis

Actually they do see black because black absorbs all wave lengths which means all light so black isn’t a color scientifically but I guess I’m not everyone. Edit: I’m just going to add more because it seems that most of you are confused: black is the result when there is no light, intensity,energy,frequency or wavelength and a lot of you are saying that since they can’t see than they see no colors (including black) but technically black is nothing considering everything I just said, but tbh I was getting confused too reading a lot of these replies. So pretty much even if you are blind you will see black as hard as that is too imagine because black is the result of what you already read so I will explain no further and sorry if your still confused. And please don’t type “they can’t see so they can’t SEE black” because if you want to be that specific than it will be too difficult to put into words. Also thanks for reading my reply because it is long to read but it seems like there is always more to say.

Well Brit only went blind recently... so I’d say she definitely knows what black is lol. Sighted people just don’t understand what a lack of vision is like because we’ve been able to see our whole lives.

Imagine it as the thing you see when you close one eye.

@@trinialvarado3408 The tear canal is not located in the eye itself, haha.

Some blind people don't have eyes, one could assume that you don't need to keep your eye healthy if you can't see out of it anyways. Chill out

Don’t worry I’m chill 😊

It is important for circulation of blood

Pretty much but say if a person can see gets saltwater in they eyes and it burns and we cant see what if it happens to a blind what would be the effect

@Yung Savage lol

E - Studios - Probably got someone else to do it.

And eyeliner too.

Well, you don’t really need to have sight when doing your makeup. You can feel the brush touching your skin right? Then you know where it is touching. We can feel where the crease of our eye is and the edges of our lips so we then use that tactile prompt to apply. Yes some things are harder then others like the eyeliner but it is possible useing a magnifier or just useing our touch. Don’t believe me? Go check out molly burks channel, she’s blind and makes content based on fashion and more.

I was complimenting her >>

Eclxpseii sorry I was addressing the people who were saying someone else does her makeup.

Eyes don't produce tears, we have something called tear glands that are in charge of that, and they are a separated from your eyes.

the "do blind people cry" and "do blind people blink" made me feel like people believe that blind people lost half of their face tbh...

@Ashton Beck and why would they not be able to produce tears? it's like me asking you if you're mute because your comment is written text

@@ryebread117_ oof, people being... people. well, you don't need to see to notice they're not the brightest... i'd imagine you're probably not as dependent as most people assume (i'll have to admit that i'd probably assume that aswell since it's not easy to imagine being blind and i guess most people overreact imagining blind people as completely helpless because they themselves are so used to being able to see?)

@Ryu Young i think its his/her friend or a sibling

Anybody should, everybody walks differently. If you've been living with them for a bit you should know. That's why I don't believe the South African runner's defense when he killed his GF. He claimed he heard somebody in the bathroom and thought it was a robber. Your live in GF isn't in bed but you hear another person but can't tell it's her?

I know that too. It's not like it¨s unique to blind people. it's something you learn pretty easily if you live with someone..

Thats normal for people who have a great reletionship

Or their cough/sneeze!

Or if they actually knock

Because your eye still needs to be lubricated even if it can't see.

1:40 - 1:41

@@JixieDyeAuthor because it's still there

She’s great

It's not an absurd question. Maybe people thought blind people would not need to lubricate their eyes, or at least they won't feel the need to. It's like: if you can't move your arm, do still need to cover it from cold? Yes, cuz you still can feel it... it just don't work anymore.

@Hyper im visually impaired I can see in good lighting and during the day but at night I can't see in dim lighting I have a special kind of glasses but in the next couple of years I will go blind one day and there will be surgery to help I will get some eyesight back but not all of it I have a detachted retnia

It's like looking with your feet u can't see anything that's what she means

@Hyper Its like trying to see with your finger...You cant! it's hard to wrap your head around the thought of nothingness but think about it. If you're born blind you don't see anything, Your brain cant create new things so its nothing. Balck IS something. so there's nothing there. Not even black. Like it's not existing.

Its probably lik if there is a blurry image at around 15 to 60p

I actually have been scared about that for awhile thats the story why i dont use the eye cover thingies imagine waking up but you think you still haven't woke up

Relax there's no reason for anyone to go blind overnight

'if all you see is blindness???' Surely that is a contradiction in terms. I am visually impaired in one eye and blind in the other. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything. I have been this way since birth and I am happy the way I am.

@@JixieDyeAuthor I think they mean how other people see blind people .

That's the most important part of the video. Thank u for pointing that out

@@JixieDyeAuthor I'm pretty sure they were talking about how sighted people see blind people as 'just blind'. He was saying how just because someone is blind doesn't mean they can't be your friend or be a part of your job. 'Blind' isn't who they are as people. I hope this cleared things up! 😄👍

In my shallow opinion, I think blind people "those who can't see" it's like their eyes not connected to brain. Imagine if you had 4 normal eyes but now you just have 2. Those two didn't connect anymore

Close just one eye. U will notice that is not black is just nothing. That’s What she see

@@Affasss I don't think so. When we close one eye we see the same as if we were to close two eyes, but our vision focuses on the eye that isn't closed. If I focus on the closed eye, I kinda see a brownish black. I think you can't really describe what you "see" when you actually don't see anything

@@ruris189 yes. And your brain won't focus on what's broken. I think

To be honest, you don’t see black when you close your eyes. It’s a colour called Eigengrau, similar to black but a lighter version.

shuzimuu I think you mean **invisible confusion**

As someone who is blind in one eye and visually impaired in the other, maybe I can help For me, I always say to people that the eye I am blind in doesn't exist. Like, if I put my hand up to touch it I would know it is there, but otherwise, and if I didn't have a mirror I would have no sense that my blind eye was there at all. Hope that helps.

I think it’s just like shades of gray, but she calls it nothing cause it’s never anything even remotely decernable so it might as well be nothing

​@@Caswth Nothing. But nothing is black. You can't "see" total darkness, cuz to see is to perceive light, but, nothing is black. The "close one eye" trick won't work, cuz your brain will focus in what you CAN see. If you concentrate on the closed eye, you will ""see"" black (aka you won't see). Close both eyes, in total darkness. You still see nothing, and still see black, cuz they're the same thing.

​@@NoneRain_ Huh

Lifes unfair

You don’t have to see black and have zero vision to be blind, to be honest I believed that misconception too before i followed some blind youtubers. Seeing absolutely nothing is actually quite uncommon (less than 10% of blind people). So this video is perfectly representative of the blind population in that sense (for 2 people lol :) )

Same

Yeah

This was a question I posed to my surgeon the morning I went in to have my right eye removed. The tear glands are left intact during eye removal, so yes, unless something has happened to those glands, we can still cry.

It's pretty rare. I've met a lot of people and that's one of the only people I've heard that happen to. Besides Ray Charles but he had some kind of disease I believe

ive never thought about this, this is deep...

These people recently went blind so they still know what the world is like

well, i imagine they all still have an imagination?!

Well you can still hear and smell I think

You answered your own question. People born blind dream as usual, just without any image. They dream about sound, they dream about feelings and etc.

You won't know what i got my likes for. i'm sorry :c Edit: well... i will say you. I would explain being blind like closing only one eye and you say me what you see with your closed eye. You feel like you see nothing. That's how i would explain it.

Let's hope no ine gets blind in here

(For people who cant comprehend that blind people see nothing, not even black) Basically imagine this: if everyone had an eye at the back of their head and you dont. And people ask what you see from that eye and you say nothing, and people are like: but dont you see black? You would reply with:No. We dont see anything because our vision isnt present there. Thats how it works for blind people

Idk why... No one said "if you damaged your eye, do you still have an eye?" It would be more like: if you can't move your arm, do you still feel it?

Of course you can get blind. My aunt become blind after a car crash. Duh

@@fliyingpotato133 speech 100

It's actually very simple. Take a look at my message. You have some angle of view, right? I mean, you see some "picture". Without moving your eyes, can you notice where are the borders of what you see? Probably more or less you can see them, not some sharp borders, but more or less you know where you don't see anymore. So now, still without moving your eyes, keep following some imaginary dot which moves across the "border", and goes around your head, for example behind your heard or for example to the right (where you can't see anymore). What do you "see" there? Is it black? White? Orange? Probably none of these. That's nothing. And I believe that's what blind people "see". It's just nothing. Not black or anything, just nothing. EDIT: Oh, just noticed she said it in the video. "Being blindless is like seeing back of your head". Then I don't understand why people comment about it, she gave quite nice explanation.

Hold your hand up behind your head, just out of your peripheral vision. You will know it's there, you just can't see it. That's what "nothingness" looks like. I have a few mild visual impairments, so that's how I describe it to people.
