It's not even known for sure that he was blind; there are no good historical references to him being so. And so the question has no answer -- we don't know if he was blind, and, if he was, we don't know how he got that way.
Actully Homer was in an Accident while fighting against his brother 4 years before he died. His brother said that if he told anyone that his own brother did it then........ well lest us just say no more homer!!!!!!!!!
actually noone knows that for sure because some books say that his brother told him he would kill the person he loves the most some books say that his brother threatened him hed kill him but really noone really knows the true answer to any of that about him
