The process and philosophy used in the rehabilitation of two blind amputees are discussed. It is recognized that the number of persons with marked or total loss of vision who will require rehabilitation is going to increase in the future. These blind patients offer a challenge to the rehabilitation team, but they can be successfully returned to a preoperative level of independence and must be given every opportunity to do so.
