When a person goes blind his other sense increases but they don't go superpower. With falmer their entire race changed (nevermind the Dawnguard questline). So obviously they evolved to fit the enivroment. But still according to in-game dialougue the Falmer is rarely seen so how they evolved ways to fight like that, I don't get. As Snow elves they had eyesight and as much as everything with it relies on it, mostly everything is made with the assumption that a person can see. So snow elves had weapons that relied on eyesight. Things that the falmer can't possibly use. Anyone can swing a sword around or an axe or anything like that. Sure, We always hit the pinjata. But anything else won't work.(You got nothing on my bows...)

Currently I would believe hearing is the most accepted theory. Through sneak you know it can't be smell. But the hearing is beyond superman if this is how.
