So, after I fought the old Watcher, my Watcher was given the Blinded debuff. It hasn't worn off, and I've cleared two more dungeons since then. It doesn't seem to be imposing any negative stats or affecting my character in any way other than having the icon always there.

 

It's not a disastrous bug, but I feel it should be reported.

 I had perminant rot / disease after going into the ogre cave. it did dps for 10 minutes until all characters died.  even camping which i could do the dps persisted. the only thing that saved my ass was a level up after death. after they died the icon and graphics of the bugs were still there but did no more dps after initial death. seemed to go away after a cut scene

Had permanent blind on my fighter but dismissing him from the party then re-adding him fixed the problem.

I got permanent Blind on one of my characters during one of the group undead fights in the Lighthouse. Save/Load does not fix, and neither does completely exiting the client (and Steam) and reloading. Please see attached screenshot; combat log is backed up to where it happaned. Affected character is third from left, in the closest Inn.

 

(Cannot attach screenshot for some reason)

 

TEMPORARY WORKAROUND: Remove the affected character from your party at an Inn, zone out and go back inside the Inn, and then re-add them.

Doesn't work with your main character though, for obvious reasons. :/ Anyone got any ideas?

Other than the things EricKei tried I also tested entering-exiting combat and casting few spells that suspend or shorten hostile effects, such as Suppress Affliction - nothing seems to work

Received the same bug on my PC after fighting specters and shades in Lhe a Rhemen.  You can't get it off, but at least it doesn't give any real effects.

I will try to receive blinded from enemies once more, and then dispel it, see what it does.
