no not all bats are blind ... .... .... new answer .... OK no all bats are able to see the reason they use sonar is because that they see the same way humans do... they use cones and rods in their eyes, which can't see at night, so there fore... bats are not blind they are more able to see than we are. They are just nocturnal so that they are only out during the night. And thus bats cant see at night even though they can see perfectly normal.
No they are not blind, but they have little need to use their eyes to know where to fly. Bats can 'hear' their surroundings by sonar and therefore can 'see' at night.

If bats are blind how do they hunt?
First, bats are not blind. Contrary to popular belief, scientific facts have shown that bats have poor eyesight, but aren't blind. Bats use echolocation. The bat emits an echo, or 'screech', then the screech bounces off of the prey, and then the bat hears the screech that bounced off from the prey, and then it catches the prey.
