Ways to go blind?

Question

I'm working on a story just for a hobby and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a particular condition that could leave a person with very dim vision (not necessarily tunnel vision) but they could still see a bright light? I'm thinking more of an accident or a harmful drug rather than a disease, but anything is fine. Or maybe there isn't any specific condition and it could just be how it turned out for the character. Either way, Let me know.

Answer 1

There's lots of different ways to go blind. If you're looking for something that would make your character go blind quickly and not completely, I would recommend brain lesion (affecting the occipital cortex, located in the back of the head). The person then loses a part of his visual field (could be his central vision). The remaining visual field is sufficient to detect large objects in your periphery, but you can't read or recognize people by their face.
That could easily happen in an accident where you fall on the back of your head and it splits open.

I have many other ideas but most of them would affect only one eye at a time or would progress slowly.

Pour in a single capful of fabrics Softner in a a million/2 bucket of warmth water dip a old tube sock into the blend and clean the blinds cleansing the two factors of the blades by cupping your hand around the front and back of blade, this blend will clean and repel the airborne dirt and mud longer then purely dry off with a delicate clean towel, next time whilst it's time to scrub back purely use a clean old or new paint brush and brush aside the airborne dirt and mud and dirt the comb will pull of the dirt like crumbs no longer something extra to do sturdy success !

I knew a gentleman (now deceased) who became blind at a very young age. He got sun stroke. He went to the Perkin's School for the blind here in Massachusetts. From there he went on to college. He graduated BU, and went on to become a very well known (local) lawyer who practised law for years, and won a good number of cases as well. He is to this day, the biggest benefactor of BU. Having donated millions of dollars to that college for scholarships, for any blind person wanting to pursue a law career. Maybe not the answer you are looking for, but anyway, good luck!

Answer 4

Glaucoma slowly closes the vission off from the outside, until you see through a pin point and then gone; and macular degeneration starts with a teeny tiny spot in the middle and then spreads outward to the edges.
