Ok so Neidr is due to be fed today. He recently went into blue and has (yesterday) cleared again. (Glad he's shedding I figured he was due!)

Random question, I can see that when their eyes are blue that they can't see, but what about once the eyes clear but pre-shed? Would their vision be back to normal?

Hope this makes sense I didn't sleep much last night!

Nope they are pretty impaired in the vision department from them going blue to shedding. When they are blue its obvious they cant see but even when the eyes clear up they effectively now have 2 eyecaps, 2 lenses over their eyes, this would blur their vision, so they will be able to see more than when in blue but it would be all kinds of blurred.
