Not Until Dark was a play that was made into the movie with Audrey Hepburn. The play was also made in book form.

This is a bit of weird suggestion, but I really love Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements. Probably up there in my top 10 favorite books. The MC isn’t blind (he’s actually literally invisible), but the main side character is blind. It’s a really interesting dynamic since she’s “sees” him perhaps better than anyone else in the story. And there are parts where it talks about her experiences being blind as well. It’s a really touching book all around, highly recommend.

If you enjoy science-fiction, you might like **Robert J. Sawyer’s** ***Wake, Watch, Wonder*** **trilogy** about Caitlin, a blind teenager who gets her sight through experimental tech, only she doesn’t just start seeing the world, she also starts seeing the Internet itself, which changes her life in unexpected ways.

It’s non-fiction and I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for by I learned so much from reading There Plant Eyes: A Personal and Cultural History of Blindness by M. Leona Godin!
