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?

    Yep. The standard Hollywood eyes are pretty close to how my dad’s look. Only Hollywood tends to do grey while his are a very pale blue. I didn’t actually learn he technically had brown eyes until I was in my late teens.
