blinded
Made unable to see
Blinded means deprived of sight, either literally or figuratively.
A flash of light can leave you temporarily blinded.
More often the word describes judgment impaired by emotion or bias: blinded by love, blinded by rage, blinded by ambition.
The figurative sense suggests an inability to see what should be obvious.
