While I can't speak for all species, I know that eyesight is just one of the senses that ball pythons rely on. They use smell and infrared sensors as much, if not more, than their eyes. While it would be very sad for any ball python to be blind, I know of several that get along just fine without their eyesight.

Oh well that's good to hear. Sorry if I mis-guided anyone on that , I had just been told by several people that they only use their eyes. I though it kinda seemed extreme, and it's nice to hear that they can continue to get around good without it. Thanks for the correction, I love learning all I can
