Actually, if you compare the Duskwight to organisms in the real world that live in caves, eyesight tends to be one of the first things to go - and hearing one of the first senses to improve. There are many cave-dwelling organisms (most notably fish) that actually lose the entire external eye structure. This is because in the darkness of caverns, eyesight really isn't needed, but senses like hearing are useful in telling the difference between an open area and a narrow area, or if refined enough, even the direction that a path is taking and the location of branches off a main tunnel. So yeah, it totally makes sense for Duskwight to have worse vision than Wildwood but significantly better hearing.
