Look without being blind (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyeless

'being blind' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'look without' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'eye' (eyeing is a kind of looking).
'without' becomes 'less' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eye'+'less'='EYELESS'

(Other definitions for eyeless that I've seen before include "Not able to see" , "how needle may be defective" , "Without the means to see" , "Like Samson in Gaza" , "lacking some perception" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
