I saw a blinde cham the other day and he had a white film on his eyes

It depends on why its blind, but if you move your finger really close to any animals eye, they will not close it if they are blind. They will also not reach for a plant if you put it really close to them. A small chameleons pupils might be too small, but if you hold a bright light up to their eyes and the pupils stay dilated they are blind. I wouldn't suggest holding a bright light next to their eye, but it's a way to tell.

If you can get or order a Reptisun 5.0 they are much better that the Reptiglo and generally recommended by everyone on this site and other cham sites.
