He was a very old man, but The Bible does not say he was blind:-

Luk 2:25-35 KJV And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. [v. 26] And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. [v. 27] And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, [v. 28] Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, [v. 29] Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: [v. 30] For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, [v. 31] Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; [v. 32] A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. [v. 33] And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. [v. 34] And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; [v. 35] (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
