Here's your answer!!
The Eyes Have It is a short story by Ruskin Bond that was originally published in Contemporary Indian English Stories. The narrator of this story, a blind man whose eyes were sensitive only to light and darkness, was going to Dehradun by train when he met a girl and had a chit-chat with her. Both the narrator and the girl try to hide their blindness. The girl asks some questions while talking with the narrator and the narrator very skillfully answered as if he could see. The girl also succeeded to hide her blindness. It was only after she left and another passenger came into the compartment that the narrator realizes the girl was blind. Here lies the irony in the story. So the title is well chosen.
