Hi guys, at present I've a level eight aerokineticist (expanded element of water) who has found himself behind enemy lines.
In my party is a duelist, a monk and a swashbuckler.
Have you any ideas on how to survive while blind? As we have no casters that can heal me. Are there any ways that I can overcome some of the downsides of blindness? I'm assuming kinetic healing just addresses hit point damage?
Any help or guidance for the immediate and near future would be great.

AoE attacks, verbal communication with the team for where you're blasting or where they need you to blast.
If you have or can gain watersense (g) or windsight (g) they can overcome the majority of your troubles with a little effort. Watersense is probably the more precise way to do it but requires you to arrange the battlefield if it's not already a wet area, windsight greater is going to be awkward to fight with because it's like only being able to assess your position via a camera instead of your own eyes, but requires no setup as long as you're above ground (same with regular windsight if you're in a place that already has wind going).
You can also use spark of life and celerity to great effect, creating elementals that can see and do your dirty work and giving the whole party haste.
Unfortunately most of these are considered subpar build choices for the average power gamer, they'll be useful for you right now but may not see play once your eyes come back. It depends on how tight your build needs to be and whether you're going to survive without these choices, and whether you even can try to get them right now.
... Just spotted level 8, you're limited to WS/WS normal, not greater, and can't get spark of life yet...
If you think you can set up one of those senses, it'll help. Otherwise, celerity and AoE attacks may be your best bet.

Can one of the others UMD a scroll of remove blindness/deafness? Name Violation and Shiroi's suggestions are pretty good, too.
Barring that, this might be the kind of thing to work with your GM on - perhaps you can come up with an item that will help you negate the issue without being broken that you can get after a short adventure where you struggle with Blindness. Maybe you can talk your GM into giving you the Blind Oracle Curse's level 1 ability, regaining a limited amount of sight. Otherewise, apart from grabbing the Blind-Fight feat line, you don't have many other options. Blindness is pretty crippling.

I don't know when your next chance to go shopping might be, but here are some items I've dug up that can help
Wraith Sight Elixer
Veiled Eye
Circlet of Mindsight
Blind Man's Fold
Blind Helm
Though I suppose if you can buy one of those you can find a spell caster to just fix you.
Feat wise, theres the Blind-Fight feat tree and Blinded Blade feat tree to start mitigating all the blind penalties.
