Medical Massage - For hundreds of years the Japanese trained blind people to practice medical massage, but only in the last hundred years has this practice spread to the Western world. Giving a good massage is dependent on a person’s tactile sensitivity. Obviously, blind people have a strong advantage in this and so they have a good chance of finding employment after a little training.
Self-Employment - People who are blind or visually impaired work for themselves as entrepreneurs just the way sighted people do. they are required as an entrepreneur to be knowledgeable about common business practices and to know about their product or service lines in depth.
