Stevie Wonder is not blind?

I am currently working on a couple of bigger theories involving the Baranstain Bears, and the Titanic so be looking for those.  In the meantime though I will do one on a rather interesting small one revolving around musician Stevie Wonder.  If you do not know who Stevie Wonder is shame on you and get out from under the rock you are clearly living under and listen to his music.  He is a very talented musician who has the claim to fame that he is blind.  This means of course there will be conspiracies that he is not blind. A short trip to Wikipedia shows that he was born blind due to being premature and his retinas detached.
I do not wish to give up hope on there being a juicy conspiracy just yet so put on your tin foil hats and get ready for this:
*As a side note this video does several instant replays and is not necessary to watch the whole thing to get what it is talking about.

If Stevie wonder was blind then how could he grab the mic?  Well to burst your bubble lots of ways.  Seeing as it is a microphone that fell Stevie probably heard Paul bump into it and went to catch it.  Just because he is blind does not mean he is ignorant to what is happening, unlike McCartney who should be looking where he's going and should stop bumping into things.  This performance would have been practiced and Stevie Wonder likely knew that McCartney was going to run by during that part of the song.  If McCartney was clumsy enough to bump into the mic as he ran to the piano for the actual performance he probably did it during rehearsal at least once or twice.  Stevie Wonder probably expected it to happen which could be why he went for the mic.  Although it is an interesting video I think that him not being blind is grasping at straws.  The real blind person here is McCartney, he should look where he is going.
