I know and have worked with several people that are blind from a Social Security manager to an engineer for AT&T to attorneys for the State Department and the State of Florida. I help people with disabilities set up businesses.
Most common way to access the internet is JAWS software.
http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/fs/jaws-product-page.aspor uses a Mac which has a pretty good screen reader. I have never encountered a braille display.
It is important to have the web pages planned for accessibility. There is software that will check accessibility factors and software that will help program tags and explanations the JAWS software can recognize.
