In his epistles, Paul never mentions having been blinded or even of having a vision on the road to Damascus. In fact what he does tell us about his conversion and about his earliest Christian journey is quite at odds with having been blinded at all. He immediately travelled to Arabia (Petrea), a long journey he was unlikely to have taken if in any way incapacitated.
Acts of the Apostles, written some decades after the death of Paul, gives us three different accounts of Paul's conversion. Following the first account, in Acts 9:17-18, Ananias placed his hand on Paul's head and told him that he was to receive his sight back. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God (Acts 9:20).
A briefer version of the same miracle is in Acts 22:13, without any mention of preaching in Damascus. The third account, in Acts chapter 26 omits mention of Paul having been blinded, but does say that he began to preach in Damascus.
