Blindness:

is extremely common in the East from many causes. Blind beggars figure repeatedly in the New Testament (Matthew 12:22) and "opening the eyes of the blind" is mentioned in prophecy as a peculiar attribute of the Messiah (Isaiah 29:18; 42:7 etc.). The Jews were specially charged to treat the blind with compassion and care (Leviticus 19:14; 27:18). Blindness willfully inflicted for political or other purposes is alluded to in Scripture (1 Samuel 11:2; Jeremiah 39:7).
