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?

    The white part is called the sclera, and no it did not look like there was sclera inside the iris. It was just a full iris, though it was kinda jagged towards the center where you could tell there was trauma.
