this, a lot of blind people aren't actually fully blind and so can see bits and bobs but not everything

kinda like saying how did beethoven make music and perform when he was completely deaf.

That doesnt actually mean she is blind you know :P I have purple tints and im not blind in the slightest... :/

I don't see how wearing those shades makes anything better haha, surely they work like sunglasses, although I believe some are to hide the blind persons eyes or to stop migraines and what not.

But yeah like they said, guides, helpers, not totally blind, or it's magic.

I thought those tinted glasses where for people with dyslexia to help them with reading? :S

I'd imagine they would get people to help them, but with regards to clothes and decoration, they might fixate on texture as opposed to colour; and when colour is an issue, they get someone to help them decide, like a personal assistant etc.
