You clod with eyes--even ignorant is too generous a word to describe you!
clod, dolt, lout, lug, oaf, meathead, etc. can all be used to mean "a dull-witted person", and would be more expressive than "lump".

un bulto = shape, form, piece of lugagge; in this expression means literally 'you're like a piece of meat with eyes'
Bulto is a widely used word in Spanish not really a Dominican term per se.

I have not heard this expression since school days. It seems a cruel thing to say to anybody now.

español term (edited):
bulto
lump
You're a lump with eyes?
I suppose it means "you're stupid", that you have no brain.

I suppose you could say in English something along the lines of \"you don\'t know your arse from your elbow\".

Or \"you\'re a bird-brain\".
I suspect there are literally HUNDREDS of idioms in english that mean more or less the same.

you're a lump with eyes because the expression ignorant ....
Bulto means "shape or form", in general Spanish.
I imagine the sentence goes on? There seems to be something missing. The conjunction "porque" sets the sentence up for another clause to follow.
One of Merriam-Webters' definition of LUMP is:
4 : a person who is heavy and awkward; also : one who is stupid or dull

In other words: \"You\'re stupid\"

I think this is a good english equivalent. It depends on the register really.

You could also say something like:
You\'re thick as (pig)shit
You\'re as thick as two short planks
