* ''WesternAnimation/AngelWars'': One angel named Jaza made a DealWithTheDevil to get extra-sensory perception. This led to him losing his wings and his eyesight, and ending up a shriveled shell of his former self that had trouble navigating his island prison. He stayed out of the heaven-vs-hell conflict for the most part, but when Michael offered to help him across the water to escape the island in exchange for information (and demonstrated that the blind angel ''did not'' have super-senses that made up for his blindness ''at all''), he took Michael up on the offer.

* Subverted in "AgentsOfSHIELD". In season 2, [[spoiler:Raina]] gets prophetic dreams in her power suits but didn't lose sight while there's another inhuman, Gordon, who lost/didn't have eyes yet still a sense comparable to eyesight.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WebVideo/NewLifeSMP'': The Sculk origin, held by Sparrow in his third life equivalent, is unable to see any player or mob unless they create sound in-game; if they stay silent, they are effectively invisible to anyone who holds the origin. On the flip side, people who hold this origin have better night vision than the average player and have a plethora of other powers which allow them to traverse the Ancient City with ease.

* ''Literature/{{Inkmistress}}'': Raisa is blind but also has [[TrueSight the Sight]], which keeps her even more aware of her surroundings than with normal vision.

* [[LittleMissBadass Toph]] from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' can sense the vibrations of the Earth, and is able to sense underground, behind walls and most everything that a normal person can see. She can also tell whether someone is lying by sensing their heart rates. Incidentally, she is perhaps the greatest [[DishingOutDirt earthbender]] in the world of ''Avatar'', having learned earthbending from its original source, the blind [[MixAndMatchCritters badgermoles]] that are able to move earth, and likewise earthbends in a style inspired by a different martial art than most earthbenders do, a martial art which was coincidentally invented by a blind woman, or so the folklore states. However, it's not a ''perfect'' substitution for being able to see. Toph is still unable to read or look at anything written on paper, has difficulty making out details of her surroundings on sand, and anything up in the air might as well be invisible to her (shown twice in her debut episode; first when Aang manages to defeat her in her debut episode by airbending himself out of her way rather than walk, and second when Sokka accidentally hits her in the head with a championship belt by throwing it at her rather than handing it over).
