During the film V for Vendetta, the character Delia Surridge recounts her experiences at Larkhill in her journal. She describes V developing abnormal abilities and kinesthesia, and when encountering V while the facility is burning to the ground, writes "...he looked at me, not with eyes - there were no eyes - but I know he was looking at me because I felt it."
Was V physically blind as a result of the experiments performed on him at Larkhill (or perhaps due to the fire), but somehow he compensated with his other heightened senses?

No, he isn't blind in either the film or the source comic.
Ignoring the more obvious elements (fight scenes, throwing of knives, etc) there are at least two occasions where he performs acts that would be impossible without sight:
When he lacerates the poster:
Cooking for Evey (where he flips and then catches a piece of bread in the pan)
In the comic book, a line in Dr Delia's diary makes it clear that he can still see at the time of his escape;
"He looked at me. As if I were an insect. Oh God. As if I were
something mounted on a slide."

When he was dueling with the armor, he didn't react to Evey's presence until he looked in her direction. Hearing her like Daredevil or using some sixth sense would have already alerted him to her being there, and acting surprised would serve no purpose since she already thinks he's amazingly skilled. And collecting art would be pointless, not to mention impossibly inaccurate, if he couldn't see. He can clearly see, he puts on an act. Though I suspect he does have some extremely improved hearing and maybe a low degree of a sixth sense.

Okay, I just came into contact with this film about a year ago and I seen it with my own two eyes, and I want to know Does or doesn't V have eyes? I need to know. This is confusing me to no end. There's a lot of things that explain how he has eyes but there's a lot of other things that tells us that he doesn't. Like for example when Delia says that V looks at her not with eyes, there were no eyes. What in the H does that mean??!! I am so confused! It's frustrating LOL. Could someone please help me figure this out. This film is so confusing it's not funny. I have been trying to find this out for a year. I remember seeing this at a very young age I remember this film actually scaring me at one point lol. I think it was the time when V came out of the fire and screamed.

Kinesthesia (kin·es·the·sia): noun
awareness of the position and movement of the parts of the body by means of sensory organs (proprioceptors) in the muscles and joints.
He was beyond a doubt without eyes in the movie. He could, however, see better than a human. He could have been reading a braille book as well, but most likely it was a normal one.

The question is whether or not he was blind, could you edit in evidence to back up your bold claim? Also some of this reads as if you are replying to other answers, you should tailor this to be an answer on it's own rather than relying on other users.
– TheLethalCarrot
Nov 1 '18 at 14:18
Thanks for responding Thomas - the definition of kinesthesia is helpful, but certainly he could have retained use of his eyes and have heightened senses in his muscles and joints. The problem is that it's somewhat ambiguous in the film whether V is has functioning eyes.
– RobertF
Nov 1 '18 at 14:21
I don't understand this answer. You say he has no eyes, but sees very well. The definition of kinesthesia is irrelevant - every normal, healthy person has kinesthesia. V's kinesthesia is just more sensitive, but it doesn't somehow preclude eyesight.

@yondaime008 - You do need to take into account that he's A) Trying to deceive her for much of the movie and B) As mad as a box of frogs.

When he was dueling with the armor, he didn't react to Evey's presence until he looked in her direction. Hearing her like Daredevil or using some sixth sense would have already alerted him to her being there, and acting surprised would serve no purpose since she already thinks he's amazingly skilled. And collecting art would be pointless, not to mention impossibly inaccurate, if he couldn't see. He can clearly see, he puts on an act. Though I suspect he does have some extremely improved hearing and maybe a low degree of a sixth sense.

Okay, I just came into contact with this film about a year ago and I seen it with my own two eyes, and I want to know Does or doesn't V have eyes? I need to know. This is confusing me to no end. There's a lot of things that explain how he has eyes but there's a lot of other things that tells us that he doesn't. Like for example when Delia says that V looks at her not with eyes, there were no eyes. What in the H does that mean??!! I am so confused! It's frustrating LOL. Could someone please help me figure this out. This film is so confusing it's not funny. I have been trying to find this out for a year. I remember seeing this at a very young age I remember this film actually scaring me at one point lol. I think it was the time when V came out of the fire and screamed.

Kinesthesia (kin·es·the·sia): noun
awareness of the position and movement of the parts of the body by means of sensory organs (proprioceptors) in the muscles and joints.
He was beyond a doubt without eyes in the movie. He could, however, see better than a human. He could have been reading a braille book as well, but most likely it was a normal one.

The question is whether or not he was blind, could you edit in evidence to back up your bold claim? Also some of this reads as if you are replying to other answers, you should tailor this to be an answer on it's own rather than relying on other users.

Thanks for responding Thomas - the definition of kinesthesia is helpful, but certainly he could have retained use of his eyes and have heightened senses in his muscles and joints. The problem is that it's somewhat ambiguous in the film whether V is has functioning eyes.

Nov 1 '18 at 14:21
I don't understand this answer. You say he has no eyes, but sees very well. The definition of kinesthesia is irrelevant - every normal, healthy person has kinesthesia. V's kinesthesia is just more sensitive, but it doesn't somehow preclude eyesight.

@DVK A dystopian future history whose anti-hero is given advanced strength, reflexes, endurance and pain tolerance via cruel medical experiments sounds like sci-fi to me.

And I was hoping there was evidence that V used some sort of sixth sense (which would definitely be a sci-fi element) to picture the environment around him.
