Return of the Natives by Thomas Hardy is one novel in which you find the protagonist Clim Yobright (sorry for the wrong spelling) becoming a preacher after losing his sight. Even in Jude the Obscure, the hero becomes blind at the end. But none of these novels deal with the impact of visual impairment. The best amongst modern writers who have deat with the subject is a writer called Catharin Anderson, especially a novel called 'Blue Skies' which deals with the retinal condition called lattice Distrophy (again po check the spelling). R K Narayan has also deat with the subject of blindness in one of his short story called 'The blind dog'. Let me see if there are more.
