One thing, aside from probably many many things that sighted people may take for granted about having their eyesight are books. Not just reading them, but in listening to them as well.  Years ago someone came up with the brilliant idea to read a book aloud and put it on tape so that you can multitask while enjoying a good book.  Whether the person narrating that book was blind or not would not be something we would even consider or maybe even care about.
