I have actually adopted the philosophy and way of thinking of the world blind union which says:
Let us change what it means to be blind instead of changing the word blind. This definitely is a more uphill task and will take much more efforts of ours.

And between us, there is no need to use niceties, is there? Also, no matter what alternatives we use, there is no doubt we are blind. Just my two cents worth!

I feel the phrase is more polite and doesnot hurt the feelings who are visually challenged. let us try to use it in our communication.
