    The film doesn't explicate much on this. Going back to the book may be the only answer you'll get. (Proviso: even knowing a fight's moves in advance can get you into trouble if you're tired and the opponent moves fast - experience stage-fighting informs that comment). Commented May 4 at 4:52

    This is covered in a lot more detail in Dune Messiah; if nobody else has an answer up by the end of the day, I'll dig my copy up. Basically, after the stone burner blinds Paul his prescience is so strong he is able to continue his life as though he still had eyes.

    (Addendum and spoiler: Until Paul throws it away in the hope that running the events he foresees off the rails will lead to a better future.)

    @DavidW - He's blind to certain plans and schemes. Anything involving the direct involvement of the Guild or another prescient like his son.
