Yes, you are correct about Teiresias because I have the same thought as you are. To me whether we are blind or not, what is important is not things that can be seen with naked eyes, but our intuition. Another thing about Teiresias is that he is a prophet who can see the future and the past of anyone including the king himself. Besides, we also cannot escape from our fate and we must be prepared for it. As you said, do not mock others for his or her inability.

Oedipus Rex..
My children, generations of the living
In the line of Kadmos, nursed at his ancient hearth:
In supplication, with your boughs and garlands?
The breath of incense rises from the city
With a sound of prayer and lamentation.
- The Origin of Oedipus the King
My children, latest born to Cadmus old,
Why sit ye here as suppliants, in your hands
Branches of olive filleted with wool?
What means this reek of incense everywhere,
And everywhere laments and litanies?
-has been told in a story-telling fashion
