If this has been said before then I apologize for repeating, especially on such an old post, but there is a theory on the Elder Scrolls reddit thread that could explain it. The theory goes that the transformation that blinded them was actually a failed attempt to merge the falmer with the dwemer tonal architecture as a prototype of their own ascension. It goes on to state that perhaps the experiment actually didn't fail as bad as the dwemer thought and the falmer have gained a "tonal sense", which acts as the Elder Scrolls series' version of the Force from Star Wars. Which would make sense, as there is a race in the Star Wars EU that is completely blind but can "see" through the force.
