Progressive blindness didn't stop "spiteful, talentless doodler" James Thurber from drawing classic cartoons for the New Yorker. Beethoven went deaf but continued composing.

My SO's brother was elected president of the New Jersey Council of the Blind a few weeks back. I wouldn't wish blindness on my worst enemy. Not even jokingly.

I haven't been here long enough to regard any of you as enemies.
