IMHO, it depends on how the blind decker is blind. If the decker went blind
because the retina got torched by the flash from a magnesium flare, then I'd
say matrix vision would be unaffected. If the optic nerve got slashed up some-
how, yes, I think they should still be able to see. But if they can't see
because of a malfunction in the visual sensory perception area of the brain,
they can't see.

In my mind, decking is like plugging your brain into the Internet. But even
keweler, because your brain don't run UNIX. At least mine doesnt...=-)
