unblindfolded
Able to see
Without a blindfold covering the eyes; able to see.
The term appears most often in contexts where blindfolding would be expected—hostages, prisoners, or participants in games: The captives were released unblindfolded, allowed to see their surroundings for the first time in days.
Figuratively, it can suggest clear-sightedness or awareness: She went into the negotiation unblindfolded, knowing exactly what tactics they would use.
