Louis Braille's dad was a saddle and harness maker in the village of Coupvray (in Paris) and Louis loved to watch him and that was the place where he first got blind from an accident with an awl ( one of his fathers tools that he wasn't supposed to touch) it punctured his eye and infected his other eye this could not be cured back then so he was blind when he was 4 years old hope that answers your question and i know all this because my class just finished reading Out of Darkness the story of Louis Braille.
Braille is a system used by many blind people. When Louis was 3, he poked himself in the eye with an awl, then the infection spread to the other eye. He used the same object that made him blind to create the system as we know as " Braille."
