"Do blind people cry?" No. Being blind actually turns you into an apathetic robot, it's to make up for the blindness.

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.

[@belalabusultan5911]

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...

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 don’t see black I see nothing” Everyone: Confused and terrified

[@pinklemonjuice2527]

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, 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?

I'm pretty sure they meant tear ducts. Some people who are born blind or have met a tragic accident (extremely rare thou) don't have tear ducts so they can't cry. But, you guys misunderstood that and you know..

[@feminico2613]

I think what the "Do blind people cry?" question means if they tear up or if they secrete tears from their tear glands. Of course unless the tear glands aren't damaged, the person can still cry tears..

[@joannestark3023]

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.

Take your hand and put it over your left eye ( or just close it ). Open your right eye and look around the room. What do you see out of your left eye? Nothing.

[@JixieDye]

it depends what part of her eye or brain is the faulty part. If it is the brain, for example a tumour, it is likely her eyes can see but her brain cannot process the information. If, for example, the brain is fine but the eye is damaged, then the brain is perfectly capable of processing the information, its just that it is not getting any information. But if like me, it is the Optic Nerve that is damaged, then the wiring between the eye and brain is damaged, which means both the eye and brain are fine, but the connection between the two is not working.

hi

[@PinkeySuavo]

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.
