Bell's Palsy does not of itself cause blindness. However, a person with BP cannot close the eyelid completely so there is always the danger of the cornea drying out and becoming damaged, then resulting in blindness in the eye on that side of the face. The eye must be kept lubricated to prevent this.
In addition, BP affects only one side of the face so only one eyelid cannot close completely. The unaffected eyelid will continue to keep that cornea well lubricated. In that limited sense, a person will not "go blind" due to Bell's Palsy only because there is no danger to both eyes.

Is berll's palsy related to Lou gehrig?
If you mean Bell palsy (or Bell's--the apostrophy-s is the older form), is not the same as Lou Gehrig disease, although both are related to the nervous system. Bell palsy usually affects one side of the face, and sometimes people have it and then get over it. Lou Gehrig disease, also known as ALS or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, affects muscles all over the body, and there is no known cure.
