This is one idea I had for a feat. Let me know what you think. 
Eyes of Tyr
You have sacrificed your eyes to Tyr, the Even-Handed, proving your dedication to the pursuit of justice. Most who take this feat wrap their eyes in a blindfold made of an opaque cloth. Others simply keep their eyes closed at all times. Others have been born blind, lost their eyesight in battle, or suffered blindness due to age-related issues with their eyes or a debilitating disease. No accounts have arisen of those who have voluntarily blinded themselves, however, and the faith of Tyr does not actively encourage such mutilation.
Prerequisites: Patron Tyr, alignment Lawful good, Blind-Fight feat, ability to turn undead.
Benefit: As long as you refrain from using your eyesight, you gain Blindsense in a 60 ft cone in front of you. Since you are not relying on your sight, you are immune to blinding effects, illusion spells or effects that rely on eyesight, and gaze attacks.
Since you are not utilizing your eyesight, you cannot use this to read things like books, scrolls or other forms of written communication. You also automatically fail at Spot checks since you cannot see.
Special: If you have this feat and also have the Hand of Tyr feat (CoS: Waterdeep), you instead gain Blindsight in the same radius as Blindsense. Your bonuses from the Hand of Tyr feat also increase to +2 instead of +1.
Special: If you violate your oaths and use your eyesight for any purpose, you lose the benefits of this feat until you perform a rite of purification in a shrine or temple of Tyr, which requires 24 hours of vigil and prayer.
Not sure if this works quite well. It's a work in progress.
