Some theories suggest it could have been due to old age, illness, or physical trauma. The exact reason is uncertain and remains a topic of debate among scholars.

A:We know nothing about John of Patmos apart from his authorship of the Book of Revelation, but presumably he was able to see, in order to be able to write. Because the author of the Book of Revelation identified himself as 'John', the book was once attributed to the apostle John. However, scholars say that he is most unlikely to have been the real author, and for this reason now refer to the uthor of Revelation as John of Patmos. The fanciful tradition that the apostle John was boiled in oil then exiled to Patmos was needed in order to get him to Patmos so that he could write the book there. Since this John was not the author, we do not need the oil, nor the exile. Without all these punishments, there is no reason to imagine John of Patmos as being blinded.
