Texas native Steve Baskis was 22 and Private First Class in the Army when a roadside bomb north of Baghdad hit his vehicle. In addition to injuries all over his body, Steve suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TMI) when shrapnel from the bomb created nerve damage to his eyes, leaving him blind. Going Blind documents Steve’s transition from recovery at Hines Blind Rehabilitation Center outside of Chicago to his new life at his own apartment, cleverly designed by himself for independent living as a blind person.
