Madara counts for a whole lot because he is the epitome of the Uchiha clan's power. Izanagi was used with an EMS. Later, Madara awakened the Rinnegan, but that doesn't undo blindness, and yet we know that the eyes weren't blind because Nagato successfully used and saw out of both of them, while Obito would later use one of them as well to see, stating the only reason he couldn't use the other was because of the intense chakra the eyes possessed. Later, Madara came back as an Edo Tensei, but as Itachi proved, Edo Tensei can have blind eyes. The fact that Madara didn't, proves that his eyes weren't blind to begin with.
