When in the full course of a sighted life an individual becomes blind, it is an end of that sighted life. However it comes, it is the end to a way of life that had become part of that person. It is the end of familiar methods of doing things. Carroll (1961) believes that it is naive, if not superficial, to think of blindness as a blow to the eyes only, to sight only. He believes that it is a destructive blow to the self-image which one has carefully, though unconsciously, constructed throughout the lifetime.
