sand-blindadj.

Etymology: Probably a perversion of Old English *samblind (see sam- prefix and blind adj.), after sand n.²Compare Johnson's explanation: ‘Having a defect in the eyes, by which small particles appear to fly before them’.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈsand-blind.

Now archaic, poetic, and dialect.

Half-blind, dim-sighted, purblind. Also figurative.
