Well first off, he was never blind. But he did have bad eyesight during his late 30's and became worse as life went on. He was a guard and the harsh cold and bright sun damaged his sight. Later on he found out he couldn't see with his right eye! He got a little less work to do as a guard but, his eye sight was still getting poorer. Soon he had to ask his models to tell him which color was which and couldn't read. I guess you could say he was blind but blind means can't see at all. He could see very little.
