For partically optically challenged piggies (those with one eye which definately works!) generally you can use the same toys as you would for fully sighted piggies.
For totally challenged piggies (blind) there are several options. I have found the jingly balls that you can get for babies go down very well. You can also buy the hay balls with a bell in them, but be warned, they will destroy these and possibly try to chew the bell. Dog balls, again with bells in are good too.
Another option, is the crackly ferrett tunnels that you can buy. We have one of these for Gabriel, and he loves it. He climbs in it, hides in it etc.
Other options include fluffy pouches, things that have different textures go down well with some optically challenged piggies.
