Which Country Has Had A Blind President?

Perhaps the only country ever to have had a bling leader is Indonesia.  Its fourth president, Abdurrahman Wahid, was completely blind in his left eye and partially blind in his right eye, due to glaucoma.

Previously an Islamic religious leader (fun fact: Indonesia is the largest Islamic country, with 231 million people), Wahid was elected president in 1999.  However, he was impeached and removed as president on July 23, 2001.  He had also founded the National Awakening Party.

To date, Wahid is Indonesia's only president with disabilities.
