In the land of the blind...

[azurelunatic]

(having heard the usual form of this a few too many times, both recently and not)


In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is unaccountably disturbed by the presence of those scientific tools with the 500-nanometer electromagnetic spectrum emitters, and claims he can sense when they're activated when he's nowhere near close enough to feel the heat from their power draw.

Have you read The Country of the Blind?

Smile, you've been metaquotesed!

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is a deluded freak.

Well...

[ysabetwordsmith]

The one-eyed man is mad. People do not deal well with those who can do things they cannot imagine.

The usual form might apply when the blind persons are recently blinded, such as happened in The Day of the Triffids, but if "the Land of the Blind" is long established, indeed.
