Abstract
This paper aims to study blindness as a physical impairment and as a metaphor in The Geometry of God by Uzma Aslam Khan. The paper uses both medical and literary discourse to provide functional definition of blindness, as opposed to strictly medical definition. The paper first establishes the ground by defining blindness and then analyses the selected text in detail to show how the author reinterprets blindness as a physical impairment by challenging oculocentrism, and extends it metaphorically to the rest of society.
