blind man

Lacks visual perception

A blind man is a man who cannot see.

The phrase appears in contexts where the blindness is relevant—a blind man with a guide dog, the blind man felt his way along the wall.

It also appears in expressions and titles: blind man's bluff is a children's game where a blindfolded player tries to catch others.

Even a blind man could see that coming uses blindness figuratively to emphasize obviousness.
