      I don’t think so – Luna had a good answer to a similar question recently.

      I guess it depends on why they are blind at birth. If their eye lids haven’t separated properly but the eye has developed properly, then yes they will see properly. If there are malformations within the eye causing the blindness then they probably won’t see as well as if there was no damage.
