Stevland Morris was born prematurely in Saginaw, Michigan to Lula Mae Hardaway on May 13, 1950 [3] It is thought that he received excessive oxygen levels in his incubator which led to retinopathy of prematurity, a destructive ocular disorder affecting the retina, characterized by abnormal growth of blood vessels, scarring, and sometimes retinal detachment. Common among other prematurely born children in the 1940s and 50s, this is considered to be the ultimate cause of his blindness.

No, he was not born blind !
He was born prematurely and rushed into an incubator where he was given too much oxygen, that is what caused the blindness.
Hope this helps.

He became blind because he was born prematurely and that caused retinal damage. I don't think he remembers when he wasn't blind but maybe he does...

No, he read a book called "blindness for dummies" and thought it was something he wanted to try.
