The hero(ine) of an action/adventure series is blinded at the beginning of the episode. The character is told that the damage will heal, provided he does not do any action/adventure heroic things for the next hour. Since the viewer did not tune in to watch the hero convalesce, the plot goes on. A supporting character helps the hero get used to his condition. Often, the blinded character's other senses will become much more acute. Unfortunately, the villain of the story sometimes discovers the hero's condition and instantly realizes he now has an overwhelming advantage. However, the hero may still win because the villain usually underestimates how well he has adjusted to his situation — in some cases, the temporary disability may actually give the hero a useful advantage. An almost identical plot structure can be used with temporary paralysis, deafness, concussions, etc. Similar but not the same as the Status Effects, as this trope uses blindness for plot reasons. |

In Himitsu no Akko-chan the titular heroine, in the deaf variant of his trope, upon meeting a new deaf kid at her school, uses her magic mirror wish herself deaf and mute, thus empathizing better with the kid. In a rather scary moment of Fridge Brilliance, Akko-chan realizes that — having wished herself to go mute as well — she's unable to hit the Reset Button by asking the mirror, which only responds to verbal commands, to make her normal again. The Reset Button presses itself anyway, but not before some days of Wangst and the usual Aesop. | |

In Worm, Skitter is blinded for about one (extremely action-packed) day. She gets by using her swarm-sense, so it doesn't actually limit her very much. Since she also wears a mask, she is able to hide it quite easily, leading to shocked reactions when casually mentions she's been blind the whole time. | |

The Supermen, a Resident Evil/Justice League of America crossover, has Wesker survive the events of Resident Evil 5, but only just. Temporary blindness from the missile explosion (he ducked before they could hit him but was still in the blast radius) is just one of his many injuries. It heals eventually, although as of Chapter 2 (the fic is still in progress) his vision is only partly restored. | |

In Kevin & Kell, Tammy the moth stared too long at the light from Ray the firefly, resulting in corneal burns in all 3,000 eyes. Unsure whether she would recover, the two bonded on a much less superficial level than before, Tammy gaining love and respect for him. When she could see again, she said she saw Ray "for the first time." | |

Michelangelo also has his own "Blind Sight" arc in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, wherein he was blinded by a Molotov Cocktail, then survived a plane crash into the ocean, and was then captured and tortured by the U.S. government. After going through all that, and still blind, he managed to find it in his heart to save the man who tortured him from drowning. | |

Despite the immortal Healing Factor, Methos doesn't immediately regain his sight, and spends time worrying he'll be in trouble since a blind immortal likely wouldn't survive long. | |

Jaina Solo, Han's daughter and a Jedi pilot, gets temporarily blinded at the start of one book of the New Jedi Order. She's a Jedi in a 'verse with high enough tech to get over that kind of thing, but she was still not allowed to fly until she'd healed. The main impact of it on that book's plot was to cause angst for her parents. | |

In Inuyasha, the titular character is blinded by Sesshomaru's poisonous claws. This helps Inuyasha to master his Wind Scar attack since it requires one to locate the spot where demonic aura of the user and the opponent collide. This is easier to do by using one's sense of smell and since Inuyasha couldn't see anything at all at the time... With the help of his Healing Factor, he later makes a full recovery from his temporary blindness. | |

WWE has used this as the focal point of angles several times: Jake "The Snake" Roberts was blinded for several months after "The Model" Rick Martel sprayed cologne in his eyes, and the two had a feud leading into a Blindfold match, in which both men were blindfolded to make things fair. Nidia was blinded by Tajiri with a mysterious black mist, and her boyfriend, Jamie Noble, subsequently took advantage of this by putting her in harm's way to win matches. |

In The Last Church, the last place of worship on Earth, the Church of the Lightning Stone, was founded on a miracle where a blind man had his eyesight restored after a freak thunderstorm dislodged a massive hematite pillar with a lightning bolt. The sheer force of the strike not only tore off the titular Lightning Stone, but cured the man of his blindness - with the first sight being a vision of God. The Church's last visitor, a man calling himself "Revelation", refutes this, saying that the stone was broken off by erosion and that the founder's "miracle" was just a religious and imaginative man being shocked out of an extreme case of hysterical blindness. | |

The Prince of Tennis has two instances of this. Early on, the main character, Ryoma Echizen, nearly permanently blinds himself after his own racket breaks and ricochets into his eyelid. Due to excessive bleeding, he is given a ten-minute time limit for finishing the match, and with three minutes left, finally gets serious and wins. Much later, Fuji, from the same team, breaks concentration and has a ball slammed into the side of his head, somehow blinding him. Not one to give up a match, he continues, though his opponent quickly grasps the situation and starts to make a comeback. Fuji then somehow surpasses his own limits and is able to "feel" the presence of the ball, making for a ridiculous victory. | |

Superman: Superman suffers incredibly blurry vision for a time when he arrives in 1943 during his time-traveling adventures in Time and Time Again. Superboy suffered from a type of blindness but he could still see while wearing his Clark Kent glasses, since they were made from round-ish shards of the Kryptonian glass that was part of his rocket. When he suggested to his dad that he should make 'contact lenses' from other glass, Jonathan Kent convinced him that he'd be risking what sight he had, since the Kryptonian glass could damage his Kryptonian eyes, just as if a human placed shards of glass in his eyes. Kal eventually gets better. |

In Vader's Quest, Luke is blinded when he goes into a cave full of light-amplifying crystals and ignites his lightsaber in response to a threat. Gasping "A J-Jedi doesn't... need eyes!", he then fights off over a dozen people who weren't blinded, without killing them. He's more cautious for the duration of his blindness, but with the Force, he doesn't have to adjust too much. | |

In The Box, the son of the main characters is deafened and blinded. The writers go on to suggest that one of his parents (both mostly innocent) murdering the other and being imprisoned to reverse his new disability is the heroic and upright thing to do. In other words, the message of the writers is that homicide is preferable to living with a disability. This film was fortunately and probably not coincidentally Richard Kelly's last work as of 2019. | |

Partners in Crime Averted in one story, where Tommy is pretending to be blind (complete with shades and cane) for reasons that made sense at the time. He's caught by the villain, who gloatingly puts him in a room where an electrical system will kill him at the slightest contact. A seeing person would have no problem navigating it, of course, hence the villain's complete breakdown when Tommy does just that. | |

Jake "The Snake" Roberts was blinded for several months after "The Model" Rick Martel sprayed cologne in his eyes, and the two had a feud leading into a Blindfold match, in which both men were blindfolded to make things fair. | |

Another inversion of the trope occurs in the pages of Superior Iron Man: After Matt confronts him over his recent actions, Tony uses the Extremis virus he infected San Francisco with to restore Matt's eyesight but tells him it'll only last for a few hours, though he'd be willing to cut a deal with Matt to make it permanent. Naturally, Matt turns it down, though he does manage to actually see his friend Foggy just as his eyesight starts fading again. | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Subverted in the Mirage comic book story "Blind Sight", in which Leonardo is blinded via poison during a fight with a Foot Ninja, who was himself blinded by Leonardo in a previous battle. Leonardo lands what he believes to be a killing blow until he realizes that the ninja was gone and that he'd actually stabbed a homeless person who was in the area. This leads to a sequel mini-series, where the still-blind Leonardo deals with the Heroic BSoD caused by the experience. Michelangelo also has his own "Blind Sight" arc in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, wherein he was blinded by a Molotov Cocktail, then survived a plane crash into the ocean, and was then captured and tortured by the U.S. government. After going through all that, and still blind, he managed to find it in his heart to save the man who tortured him from drowning. |

Gensokyo 20XX: We have this with an age-regressed Reimu, in the aftermath of her eating rat poison and the resulting brain damage thereof during the events of chapter 24 and didn't regain her sight until about 24 chapters later. Earlier in the series, we had this with Chen when she was blinded out of mercy during the events of 20XXI and didn't regain her sight until 20XXIV. In that vein, we had Yukari near-blind the which she didn't recover from until about the end of 20XXIV. So far, Miko hasn't displayed any signs of recovery. |

Daredevil: An issue has the blind Matt Murdock/Daredevil temporarily lose his enhanced senses. He gets better. Daredevil: Black and White features a total inversion of the trope, however — Daredevil is given sight by experimental surgery, but it fades away before long. Good thing it's All Just a Dream. Another inversion of the trope occurs in the pages of Superior Iron Man: After Matt confronts him over his recent actions, Tony uses the Extremis virus he infected San Francisco with to restore Matt's eyesight but tells him it'll only last for a few hours, though he'd be willing to cut a deal with Matt to make it permanent. Naturally, Matt turns it down, though he does manage to actually see his friend Foggy just as his eyesight starts fading again. Once, Daredevil and Spider-Man team up and the villain brings out his trump card: he uses a device that blinds the target on Daredevil. Spidey pretty much feels sorry for the poor guy when Daredevil lets him have it. (It is not common knowledge to non-heroes that Daredevil is blind.) |

The Lone Ranger was shot in the throat and rendered temporarily mute in the 1940s radio serial. For several subsequent episodes, the Lone Ranger was unable to speak above a hoarse whisper while Tonto carried the plot. This was a case of Real Life Writes the Plot since voice actor Earle Graser had died suddenly in a car accident. After five episodes of gradual recovery, Brace Beemer was the new voice of the Lone Ranger. | |

Rurouni Kenshin: In the manga, during his days as a hitokiri, some guys tried to take him out by using tricks to weaken his sight and hearing. He was still able to kill them even with barely functioning senses, but did have a little more trouble than usual. And his wife Tomoe died in the mess. In the anime, Kenshin also was temporarily blinded during his fight with Shougo Amakusa. He recovers his sight later. Note that Shougo has blinded his own uncle and teacher several years later, and the poor man never recovered his sight, so... |
