I'll have to think about that interpretation... Was Rand really blind?

And how could Rand see from Moridin or Lew Therin's eyes? Lews Therin doesn't currently have eyes. Moridin's eyes are in a totally different location.
Part of the color change you may have noticed is Rand's change in mental status. Tam said that Rand had corpse eyes.
I think Rand's blindness may have been more of a symbolic blindness-- his soul was blinded with darkness and he had lost all joy and love. That is also a form of blindness.
I am still totally open to be swayed, however, as I wasn't totally clear on this blindness issue myself. The only thing I am relatively certain about is that the blindness issue is now over.

So Rand was pretty much blind since he got injured by Semi in KoD. The other characters mention how his eyes changed from blue to old gray, which meant he was using Moridin's and Lews Therin's eyes in tGS until the end when he opened his true eyes. I thought the whole blindness thing was nicely done although very subtle.

His eyes have ALWAYS changed between blue and gray. WTF are you going on about?
