ecolocation
They do not see infrared light. Most bats are completely blind, using 'echo-location', ie radar, to "see" in the dark.
Contrary to popular belief (blind as a Bat), Bats are NOT blind. They do not have the best vision (like an eagle), but they can definitely can see. To locate their prey, and avoid obstacles at night, they use a sonar like what you would find on a submarine. They release a sound, and depending on how long it takes to get back, they determine what it is, how big it is, and how far away it is.
Bats can see perfectly well at daytime because they are just like any other animal. People think bats are blind because they don't use their vision at night. They use a process called echolocation, a process where the bat emits a sound from its mouth that bounce off objects when flying.
Bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt for prey in the dark. They emit high-frequency sounds that bounce off objects in their environment, allowing them to form a mental map based on the returning echoes. This unique ability helps them fly and hunt successfully in the dark.
Bats have eyes and can see both at night and during the day using their eyes. However bats do not rely on their eyes at night (in the dark), because they have another sense they use called "echo location" which works better than their eyes.
Sonar.
no bats don't see. they use sound and when the vibrations of the noise jump off an object then the bats know to avoid it.
Bats can't see very well, they use sonar
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.

kinda they use their eyes a bit for hunting but mostly they "see" with their ears.
they both use ecolocation to see and hear
Well bats use echo waves. These waves help them to know where everything is because bats are blind. See if you where standing there he would know your there with Eco waves with out actually seeing you
Yes, bats can sense obstacles. Bats use echolocation to hear and see at night. When the vibrations bounce back, a bat can sense if there are things in the way.
sharks cant see underwter however, sharks use this kind of sound wave to see just like bats. they have to be able to see under water.
Bats do not have night vision; they see very poorly at night and not all that well during the day, either. Those species of bats that eat insects use sonar to locate the insects, rather than vision.
Bats use their eyesight to see things (yes, bats are not blind, this is a myth) They also use echolocation sending out sounds and bouncing them back to judge distances and size of objects.
