Physical and symbol blindness are the kinds of blindness in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, physical blindness is evidenced in the actual blindness of Teiresisas the blind prophet. Symbolic blindness is found in the cluelessness of Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus suffers from a mistaken self-image that causes him not to recognize the truths that are staring him in the face.

How is Teiresias' blindness relevant to Oedipus in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he is blind but sees the truth is the reason why Teiresias' blindness is relevant to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet is the royal advisor to every Theban king since the city's founding by King Cadmus. He knows the entire past, present and future of Thebes through his innate wisdom and through skilled reading of ritual sacrifices. He manages to be so insightful despite being blind whereas the sighted Theban King Oedipus cannot see the murder and incest that are staring him right in the face.
