Apraxia of lid opening (ALO) is a relatively rare, nonmotor disorder characterized by a patient's difficulty in initiating the act of lifting the upper eyelid despite normal oculomotor function. There is an inability of voluntary eye reopening without an orbicularis oculi spasm despite sustained frontalis contraction.
So basically, even though one’s eyes can function well like a normal person, one can’t open their eyelids like others can. There are multiple surgeries for it but some people don’t really wanna do it for some reason.
They are not blind, they just have trouble lifting up their eyelids.
