Your hamster may very well be blind. One way of telling if your hamster is blind is if it doesn't react to waving hands in front of its face. Also its eyes may be cloudy looking or have white spots in them. One way of knowing for sure is if you let your hamster run lose on the floor and if it smells around to find its way or if it runs into something!

Hamsters aren't actually blind. They just have poor eyesight so rely on the sense of smell rather than the sense of sight.
