Somewhat blind or partially lacking sight; showing signs of blindness without being completely blind.
From 'blind' plus the diminutive or qualifying suffix '-ish' (somewhat, somewhat like). This suffix allows the creation of adjectives meaning 'having some quality of' or 'somewhat resembling.'
'Blindish' uses the '-ish' suffix, which is one of English's most flexible tools for expressing vagueness and approximation. We say 'reddish,' 'youngish,' 'coldish'—all of which soften claims. 'Blindish' suggests vision problems without commitment to how severe they are.
