eyeless

Lacking visual organs

Eyeless means lacking eyes, whether literally or through loss: eyeless fish in underground caves, the eyeless sockets of a skull.

Figuratively, it can suggest blindness to something or an inability to perceive: eyeless to the suffering around him.

The word appears more often in literary or scientific contexts than everyday speech.
