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

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.
How could Moridin see for him? That would only work if Moridin was sitting on his shoulder. And people's HAIR goes gray with old age, not their eyes. The "old eyes" thing was just another expression meaning his facial expressions and so forth were those of a man who has been through a great deal of suffering and stress that normally takes a lifetime to accumulate. Moiraine was initially described in a similar way in EotW, as are other Aes Sedai in general - that is, their faces don't show the physical signs of aging, but their eyes reveal them to have too much experience for a woman as young as the skin of their faces might otherwise indicate.

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