Yes, certain black flies can cause blindness, particularly through the transmission of diseases. One notable example is the black fly species that transmits the parasite Onchocerca volvulus, which causes river blindness (onchocerciasis). The disease can lead to severe eye damage and, ultimately, blindness if left untreated. Preventative measures and treatment are crucial in affected areas to reduce the risk.
