That's a stereotype, if one is 100% blind they don't require shades. The sunglasses are used for people who have enough eyeball functionality to see vague imprints and light sources. This is clinically blind and the remaining sight is often more of a hinderance because because the sudden light and dark contrast can be disorienting and painful. Those blind people use shades to block out that last 5% so it doesn't get in the way.

The only reason for someone like Christian to use shades would be as an identifier but as previously stated he doesn't like using those if he can help it. 

Also just a note, unless someone has worked with the blind before there is very little chance of them associating fogged eyes with blindness. Light blue eyes that almost look like mist aren't that uncommon.

Ah, okay. I guess you and I have had different experiences with the blind then. Of the people I worked with, two of the clinically blind didn't use shades and the totally blind man did. When you say "blue eyes that are fogged over due to his blindness", my mind immediately goes to [URL=http://newsighteyecenter.yolasite.com/resources/BlindChild.jpg]this[/URL].
Sorry, just interpreted things a little differently.
