"There are none so blind as those that will not see.."

Your eyesight might be a bit dodgy Blindman, but try to have a look at this from 13:00 minutes onward (Apollo 12 sequencing camera recording lunar module approach & landing).

Pete Conrad later described the landing as in "IFR conditions".

This means the crew had to use Instruments (the 'I' part) rather than VFR ('Visual Flight Rules') because the dust was so significant that nothing could be seen outside by eye.
