stone-blind

Cannot see anything

Stone-blind means completely blind, with no sight whatsoever.

The intensifier stone- emphasizes totality, as in stone-cold or stone-deaf.

The term appears in older literature and idioms but sounds dated in modern speech: The old man had gone stone-blind by sixty.
