          Louis Braille (brayl; French:[lwibʁɑj]; 4 January – 6 January ) was a French educator and the inventor of a reading and writing system named after him, braille, intended for use by visually impaired people.

          His system is used worldwide and remains virtually unchanged to this day.

          Braille was blinded in one eye at the age of three. This occurred as a result from an accident with a stitching awl in his father's harness making shop.

          Consequently, an infection set in and spread to both eyes, resulting in total blindness.[1] At that time, there were not many resources in place for the blind, but he nevertheless excelled in his education and received a scholarship to France's Royal Institute for Blind Youth
