To Galton, there was no reason why blind painters could not become great in their own right: "They can also become painters of the rank of Royal Academicians." (ibid.)

Conclusion

The 'Mind's eye' is a fascinating treatise on how blind people are actually far more sightful than we take them to be. In fact, blind people may actually be more sightful than sighted individuals themselves. Blind people are often encouraged to transfer their abilities to strengthening their other capacitates (and thus to seeing that way). This may, however, be misleading. Blind people have often retained a great deal of their original sight and can still see in an internal way. This continues to serve them, and should likely be the talent that should be focused on. Lastly, each blind person, as does each individual in general life, sees in a different way.
We are idiosyncratic and unique in our mental and physical visualization. Conclusions can never be drawn, but the visually impaired are more visually enhanced than we take them to be. They may be more visually enhanced than the sightful. They see in 'their mind's eye'.
