blindness ending and review
After they left the ward, the doctors wife decided to take care of all of people she was with. The women with glasses, the man with the eye patch, the kid with the squint, the doctor and the doctors wife formed a group to survive in the outside world. After seeing that the oust side world was completely ruined, they decided to go to each of their homes one by one in search of food and shelter. The last place they ended up was at the doctor and the doctors wife home where they began to live. After a few days of living there the blindness has been lifted and the world started to regain their sight. While everyone gains their sight back, the doctors wife goes blind. I felt the author didn't put that much thought in the ending of the book. In reality i don't think you can go from blind to see again especially after being dirty and people don't take care of themselves.

If we were talking about an apocalyptic world, this wasn't a good ending. giving the sight back to the blind people can be only a miracle, almost impossible if we try to give an explanation. but if the writer do not explain at the beginning of the book how people were getting blind, i do not think he has to explain how the blind people recovered their sight.
