Yes.
Think about how many people have probably approached her as "blind, therefore different" in her lifetime. Think about how tired she must be of this treatment. Think about how tiresome this treatment would be, in particular, from people trying to chat her up.
I went on a few dates with a girl with a bum leg, years ago. This wasn't even a "serious disability" as much as she just had to carry crutches with her everywhere she went. It made getting up stairs somewhat slower in situations where elevators weren't available, but otherwise it was really no biggie. But she told me one of the things she liked most about me was that I didn't treat her like she was 'handicapped.' The thought really never occurred to me to do so, I guess, I just figured she'd had the crutches all her life and probably had figured her way around them by then.
Just talk to her, don't make a deal of her being blind at all. It's likely that not doing so alone will make you stand out enough that she'll be willing to go out with you.
oh, and the girl and I eventually broke up -- not because of anything crutch-related, but because she was a terrible kisser. true story.
