That would explain Gollum's apparent extraordinary abilities of sight, smell, and hearing.
Even if the Ring had no such effect on his senses, he still lived in almost complete darkness (with a couple odd goblin torches here and there, perhaps) for... how many years? Living in the dark is just as sense-sharpening as living in fog.
