Question

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:

He is blind from one eye.

The correct answer is

blind in one eye

The adjective "blind" takes the preposition in when we name the eye that cannot see: blind in one eye, deaf in one ear, lame in one leg.

So the correct sentence is "He is blind in one eye." ("Blind to" is used for being unaware of something, e.g. blind to his faults.)

"From", "with", "on" and "by" are not used idiomatically with "blind" to indicate the affected eye.

Hence, the highlighted part should be replaced with "blind in one eye".
