* Being unconscious, blinded or [[asleep]], or being an [[eyeless]] monster{{refsrc|src/mondata.c|156|nethack=3.6.7}}
* Being a monster that has a blinding explosion attack (i.e. a yellow light){{refsrc|src/mondata.c|163|nethack=3.6.7}}
* Being a monster that has a blinding gaze attack (i.e. an Archon){{refsrc|src/mondata.c|164|nethack=3.6.7}}

In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], blindness resistance can be obtained from several other sources:

* Wielding any of the [[dNetHack artifacts#Artifacts of the Empyrial Lords|Artifacts of the Empyrial Lords]]
