You know considering the fact he has no eyelids, all someone has to do is shine a flashlight on his face. He would then just turn his whole head or shield his entire face with both arms, leaving him vulnerable.

Here’s what would happen if you didn’t have eyelids. First you would damage your eye's in the process, as the innermost layer of the eyelid (conjunctiva ( actually continues on and is attached to the surface of the eye as well.) The blood vessels to attach to your eyes would bleed. You would be blind in less than an hour, unless you could adapt a greenhouse misting system to lubricate your eye's every few seconds. (This would be difficult to arrange and might not work for long.) However, there is a medical condition where some babies are born without eyelids. Many of those babies go blind. It's known as Anophthalmia (Which is a rare disorder that develops during pregnancy.) There is no treatment that can restore the personal site. The person still does have natural tear ducts. However, unlike most with eye conditions who can regain sight with an eye transplant, in this case it is not an option.
