Are all dolphins blind?

No, not all species of dolphins are blind. Ocean-going dolphins can see perfectly while certain river-dwelling species of dolphins cannot see perfectly and are completely blind. The Ganges River Dolphin does not have any eyesight.

This is the result of evolution as the muddy rivers of the water did not enable them to navigate freely and thus they gradually lost sight of their eyes and developed echolocation to hunt their prey.
