A good way to tell if you puppy is blind, is to simply watch them. You will notice that they will often come very close to running into things, or actually run into them. You can also wave your hand in front of their face to see if they respond to it, or turn on a lamp of some kind to see if you get any kind of reaction. The most logical of course would be to look at the eyes themselves. They might be glazed over, like my new Maltese puppy Brodie. They might also have some kind of film on the eyes, or a discharge out of the eyes. If any of this sounds like your dog, I would suggest taking him to the vet immediately, because some things can be fixed(not likely, but possible).

Additional Info:

Our vet just confirmed that our 3.5 month old schnauzer puppy has gone blind. The first sign we noticed was his walking into table legs and furniture, walls, doors, etc. But we were in denial and thought he was just klutzy. He also started falling off the edge of the top step, but we thought he didn't understand what stairs were. In the street, he would ignore other dogs and people - - it never occurred to us that he didn't know they were there. Finally, we played ball with him and he pounced on a bouncing ball. But, after the ball had rolled away, he continued to pounce on where the ball had been when it last made a noise by bouncing. That's when we finally decided to take him to the vet. My suggestion if you are not sure: throw something into his face that will not hurt him - - something big, but very light and with no sharp edges (e.g. balled up newspaper). If the dog makes no attempt to get out of the way until it hits him, then you need to take that dog to the vet. Repeat it a few times if you must to convince yourself.
