Past or present after the main clause in the past

Pleas tell the difference between the two sentences 1.She discovered that he had gone blind. 2 she discovered that he has gone blind .if he is still blind does it make sense to use present perfect after the main clause being in the past. Thanks.

Vladv does it make sense to use present perfect after the main clause being in the past. No. There may be an odd context where it works, but I cannot think of one.
