This is a list of famous people, both real and imaginary, who have lost their sight.
The people are included because they are well-known in their own right rather than because they are, or were, blind or partially sighted.
The portrayal of some blind characters in literature or the arts is very negative. Blind characters are often seen as frightening or pathetic, or as being punished for some moral lapse.
Sight loss is a natural phenomenon which can affect anyone, irrespective of moral behaviour or religious belief. While it may cause very real problems, it does not turn ordinary people into monsters or victims.
