Answer

At the age of three, Louis Braille accidentally injured his eye with an awl while playing in his father's workshop. The infection that followed spread to his other eye, resulting in total blindness. Despite this setback, Braille went on to develop a tactile system of reading and writing for the blind, known as Braille.
