Can possums go blind

Answer 1

No. The only reason for any possum to go blind in the wild would be due to it having an accident, or natural attrition due to advanced age. Possums are no more likely than most other species to go blind.

Answer 2

Most definitely.

Whilst American opossums do not have particularly good eyesight, possums (a completely different species) have good vision, especially at night.

Answer 3

Yes. Their eyelids can still function perfectly normally.

Answer 4

No, they are not. In fact they have very good night vision.

Answer 5

Yes, possums do blink all the time. However, when the possum is playing dead, they will stare at the predator without blinking for long periods of time.

Answer 6

Just as blind people blink, blind animals do too. Just because someone/something doesn't use his/her/its eyes, the eyes still must stay moist.

Answer 7

Albino possums are not blind, but their eyes are more sensitive to light, and they are more likely to develop eye disorders earlier.

Answer 8

yes,everything can go blind in a way
