Do blind geckos squint?

Do blind geckos squint when exposed to light?
For that matter, do blind humans squint?

Any thoughts?

They squint and/or close their eyes when they have light-sensitive eyes. Usually albino leos do. People with light colored eyes such as blue, grey, and green tend to be very light-sensitive, too. I don't know much about albino people, but I'd assume it was the same.

The reason I ask, My snake eyed G luii...
http://www.geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=21065 has the fun eye thing..

He eats normally, chases crix and roaches with no problem (VERY VERY FESITY LIKE LOL)

I do see slight pupilary changes when exposed to light, just really hard to catch it dialated..

He does squint when I put a light on him... Just wondering...

I definitely am trying to breed it to one of the green eyed G luii...

I've often wondered the same thing about my leo. She bumps into things all the time, and acts like she's totally blind, but responds to movement and to light.... she's an albino snake eye...
