The only option, the doctor admits, is to “wait and see.”Īfter the blind man’s appointment, the car-thief also suddenly goes blind, as does the doctor later that night. The doctor is baffled: there’s seemingly nothing wrong with the blind man’s eyes, and his condition is unprecedented. It turns out that the person who drove the blind man home was a thief-he stole their car, so the blind man and his wife take a taxi to the eye doctor. After another driver helps the blind man back to his apartment, the blind man knocks over a vase and cuts himself trying to pick up the pieces, then passes out on the couch until the blind man’s wife comes home and helps him clean up. The man yells out that he has suddenly gone blind: his entire field of vision is a sea of whiteness. At an intersection in front of a traffic light, a driver remains stopped after the light turns green, which annoys the other drivers.
