I believe it's safe to conclude, then, that zombies cannot smell their own putrefaction, else they would be overcome to the point of incapacity and would not even be able to shamble, let alone breathe.
However, the reference to eyes presupposes that all zombies
have eyes (which I believe to be an erroneous assumption); when, in fact, based upon injury - whether initiated in "pre-zombie" state or not - the fact remains that it is entirely conceivable that some zombies do NOT have eyes and thus would be incapable of sight.
