Yes moles do have eyes but the never use them because they are always in the deep dark underground where they couldn't see a thing anyway so they use there oklou (which is the thing on the end of their nose) to sense where there going.

because they spend there lives underground and need little light, so they have adapted to have eyes that take in a lot of light, so when there is a lot of light there eyes take so much in they cant see well.

No. Most moles are capable of basic sight (sensing light), although their sight is relatively undeveloped compared to other mammals. Instead of sight, moles rely on smell and touch.

No, moles are not blind. Moles just have extremely bad eyesight, but are not completely blind.
