In answer to whether or not this could be true,
although a wonderful idea, I find three bits in the
cannon that refutes it.  
1.  In SS She looks back at Harry through the Mirror
of Eresed.
2.  THroughout the ENTIRE series, Harry is constantly
told that he has his mother's eyes.  While true that
this could be solely the look, it would be really
disturbing that people would be telling Harry that he
has his blind mothers eyes.
3.  Furthermore, Harry saw his parents looking back at
himt hrough numerous photographs.  There has never
been mention of sunglasses. 

Now it is possible, I find it highly unlikely, unless
of ocurse blindness came at later stages, and the
mirror of eresed shows them as they were happiest,
etc, etc.  Do remember that harry has seen fragments
of his mother, even in the form in which she died, at
the end of GoF.  Again, magical world, wierd things
occur after death, who knows, but I highly doubt it.
