Blindness is, fortunately, a rare occurrence during adolescence. Legal blindness may range from a complete loss of vision, which is total blindness to impaired vision. Impaired vision of 20/200 qualifies for legal blindness. Legal blindness is further defined as correction of vision to 20/200 in the better eye or a visual field of twenty percent or less. Using the snellen eye chart, an individual with 20/200 vision will be able to see the letters at twenty feet distance where individuals with 20/20 or normal vision can see the same line and letters at two hundred feet. To understand a visual field of twenty percent or less, imagine looking through a toilet tissue tube with one eye.

Blindness has many causes. In the United States, the leading causes are diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and accidents (such as chemical burns or injuries from bungie cords, fishing hooks, fireworks, racket balls, and similar objects).

As the narrative of Blindness progresses, the conditions of the blind continue to get worse. They find themselves in a society that no longer functions. Blind people roam the streets looking for food and shelter. After scavenging for days, they realize that soon it will be impossible to obtain enough nourishment to keep alive. While they are at the edge of despair their vision miraculously begins to return. The novel abruptly ends without making clear in what ways people have been transformed by the horrific experience of collective blindness.

Blindness is only used by Fecas when they own a set or item which gives them a +1AP bonus and allows them to cast Cloudy Attack and Blindness. Blindness usually won't be boosted at all, because 10 boost points to achieve a safe 2AP loss are definately too much points you rather should spend on your armors.
