They don't have eyes. The magic that animates them also gives them darkvision, but can they also see normally and react to things further away than 60 feet?

Related, possible duplicate: Can a creature with blindsight that is not immune to the Blinded condition suffer the effects of Blindness? (If this is asking what I think it's asking, my answer on that question also potentially answers this question.) – LegendaryDude Feb 14 '17 at 18:41

The Skeleton can see beyond that
If the skeleton was blind beyond its darkvision range, it would be annotated as such - see the oozes in Monster Manual for examples of monsters with this sight modifier. Since the skeleton lacks such note, it can see beyond the range of its 60 foot darkvision.

4TBH, this is no different than Dwarves or other darkvision creatures. They have darkvision to X range, and normal vision beyond it. – Marshall Tigerus Feb 14 '17 at 21:21

2@MarshallTigerus Yeah, skeletons are not really exceptional in this regard. – kviiri Feb 14 '17 at 22:09
