No, she's blind, at least in the traditional sense. Matoya point blank asks when "the light faded from [her] eyes" and warns her that her method of compensation will drain her lifeforce. They never really explained how her new aether sense works, but it's unlikely that she perceives the world normally anymore. Instead she probably has something more akin to sonar or echolocation than actual sight.
