I read the description. I was just confused about the astral aspect. I
can see that since ghouls are dual-natured they get the 2-point blind
flaw. However in SRIII Companion, the ghoul description section on page 33
says ghouls can get cyber-eyes to offset their cataracts (or whatever), but
the description of the blind flaw on page 19 clearly states that cybereyes
cannot correct the Blindness flaw.

So it would seem to follow that a standard ghoul without cyber-eyes takes
2-points of Blindness, but a ghoul with cyber-eyes actually takes no
Blindness flaw, and keeps his astral perception, too.

Is that about right?
