That wasn't really the point that was being made. The bible states that it is possible for miracles to happen, how they can happen, and what will happen when asked for. Certainly, you can pray for universally perfect human (or better) eyesight can happen to every human being on the planet someday, but it won't be because anyone prayed for it, it'll be because people worked their lives in the medical (or other applicable scientific) fields their whole lives and worked until such a reality can occur. It won't be a mysical act of god - it'll be done by human hands and human minds.

Yes, if Armageddon doesn't come first as a study of history or the Bible would indicate to be our default end.

I get his point. I'm just pointing out (in a roundabout way) how silly it is to test God much like the Pharisees and the devil did with Jesus. Whether he works some sort of amazing miracle or not here won't matter to anyone when we all receive spiritual sight.

Ask almost any atheist if s/he will belive in and follow Jesus if he came back and gave sight to 88% of blind people. They won't, because that's not the real problem they have. They would just demand he do something more, which is of course a good reason for him NOT to do more.
