Why is Akira Kurosawa blind?

Shooting a movie leads to an overload on the eyes.

According to today's headline website, Kurosawa has myopia and astigmatism in his eyes, because he once wrote about his genetic condition of myopia and astigmatism when he was young. In his later years, he lost an eye because of the heavy burden of staring at the screen of the movie camera when shooting a movie.

Akira Kurosawa is a film director who attaches great importance to vision. The lens, picture composition and light and shadow effects he used in the film fully reflected his unique visual charm. Therefore, his visual impairment may also have an impact on his film creation, thus forming his unique film art style.
