he stabed his eye with an awl
Yes. Louis Braille did become blind at the age of three, when he accidentally poked himself in the eye with a stitching awl. And because of sympathetic ophthalmia, he lost the sight of his other eye as well.
I don't think anyone knows which eye it was, i can't find the exact answer. but i do know that it was the eye that was hit with the awl.
Louis Braille touched his father's awl because he accidentally injured his eye with it while playing in his father's workshop. This injury eventually led to his blindness and inspired him to create the Braille system for reading and writing.
Braille is a system used by many blind people. When Louis was 3, he poked himself in the eye with an awl, then the infection spread to the other eye. He used the same object that made him blind to create the system as we know as " Braille."
At three years old, Louis was playing in his father's tack shop. While pushing an awl through a scrap of leather close to his face, he punctured one of his eyes. Although he was treated by a physician, the eye became infected, the infection passed to his other eye, and Louis lost his sight.
No he did not .
Louis Braille's dad was a saddle and harness maker in the village of Coupvray (in Paris) and Louis loved to watch him and that was the place where he first got blind from an accident with an awl ( one of his fathers tools that he wasn't supposed to touch) it punctured his eye and infected his other eye this could not be cured back then so he was blind when he was 4 years old hope that answers your question and i know all this because my class just finished reading Out of Darkness the story of Louis Braille.
Louis Braille lost his eyesight when he stuck an awl into his eye accidentally as a child. He then had an infection in one eye that spread to the other and left both eyes blind.
when louis Braille was a kid he accidentally stabed his eye out
Louis Braille was 3 years old when he became blind after accidentally injuring his eye with tools in his father's workshop.
When Louis's eye became infected, the infection spread. Louis was completely blind, only days later!
