The original Hourman is a good example. Someone who was blinded. But uses a serum that allows him to see. But only in darkness.
That wasn't Hourman (though Hourman was arguably a drug addict).
The blind superhero was Dr. Mid-Nite. It wasn't a serum, if I recall, it was the same accident that made him blind gave him nightvision. In any situation where there's light he needs goggles to see.
When you mention Daredevil you're probably thinking of the Silver-Age Marvel Daredevil who was of course blind but had super-senses that made up for it.
But a better example might be the Golden Age Daredevil, who was a mute.
