No, bats aren't blind. All bats can see, although some species aren't exactly eagle-eyed.
While scientists believe smaller bats don't see in color, many species get around amazingly well in the dark. Some bat species have the added advantage of -- the ability to bounce sounds off an object, including prey, to determine its size, shape, and location.
The Bat Conservation International reports the echolocation of a fishing bat is sophisticated enough to detect a minnow's fin as fine as a human hair sticking up just 2 mm above a pond's surface. Those of us with LASIK should be so lucky.
So saying you're "as blind as a bat" without your contacts isn't really an admission of poor eyesight. It's just an idiom dating back [broken link removed]. Though they may be as hungry as a horse, as quiet as a mouse, and as happy as a clam, bats aren't, well, as blind as a bat.
Except that bats are not blind
