How blind was Helen

Helen Keller was not completely blind, but she was considered deaf-blind. She lost her eyesight and hearing at the age of 19 months due to an illness, believed to be scarlet fever or meningitis. As a result, she was unable to see or hear and lived in a world of darkness and silence for most of her life. However, with the help of her teacher Anne Sullivan, Keller learned to communicate through sign language and became an incredibly accomplished individual, overcoming her disabilities and becoming an advocate for others with sensory impairments.
