If a person becomes totally blind because of a car wreck or some kind on accident, what actually happens to their eyes to make them go blind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Traumatic: Traumatic injuries resulting in blindness can occur at many different levels. If they had a brain injury, this could render them blind. They could also have a direct injury to the globe (eye), causing problems with the cornea, lens, or retina, all can result in blindness.
