Stevie Wonder went blind within hours of his birth. He was affected by a condition known as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This is a problem affecting the eyes of premature babies, especially those born at or before 28 weeks of pregnancy

--QUOTE--

The musician Stevie Wonder was a premature baby and reports say that he became blind from ROP because he was given too much oxygen in his incubator.

Yes, Stevie Wonder is blind and has been since birth and that is why he wears sun glasses all the time when he performs. This site tells a little about him. http://thelinkto.com/parentmentor/stevie_wonder.htm.

This site you can watch him perform at the White House excepting the Gershwin prize for popular song. http://steviewonder.net/
