I've skimmed through the comments as much as I can, and it looks like no one has come to the conclusion I have: Adam is a bat Faunus. His eyes are either completely white or completely black. I think he keeps them covered because they freak people out and he's trying not to draw attention to them. I think his eyes are what drew more than the usual negative attention from humans and created the situation that started his intense hatred. He doesn't use his eyes to see, but uses some kind of bat echolocation, which actually improves his fighting abilities. I don't think keeping his eyes covered is a symbolic thing at all; he doesn't need them. He can "see" better than anyone.
