There are different extents of blindness.
Some blind people can sense light and dark: like you can tell if someone is shining a light at you even if your eyes are shut.
If you develop blind in the womb then parts of the brain that would normally deal with eyesight can get used for other purposes, so you have a reduced understanding of seeing itself. Again it's not exactly black and dark - more smelly and noisy!
Some such people sometimes have a very accurate idea of what is around them - a 3d virtual world if you like - one inhabited by sounds smells and textures rather than colors.
What's happening behind the eyelids - if you mean in the eyes - they could be damaged, opaque, non- functioning, or perfectly normal with the blindness due to something between eye and brain, or in the brain.
If you mean what happens in the mind - you can get a glimmering of an idea by spending the day blindfolded!
