ELI5: Why do blind people often seem to have eye discoloration.

I've noticed that they eyes of the blind are often white, or (for lack of a better word) strange in general. Why is this?

It all depends on what's causing the blindness. If they're eyes are whitish, it's typically because something has caused the lense (the clear part where the light comes through) to become obscured or foggy.
