There are a few ways to cure Intrinsic blindness caused by zapping a wand of lightning to inscribe Elbereth, or being attacked by a yellow light, or a many number of other ways to go blind.

  • You can wait for it to heal - this can take a few turns if the blindness was caused by eating rotten food or being hit by a potion of blindness, but will take many hundreds of turns if you quaffed a potion of blindness.
  • Praying to your god may help, but be aware that blindness is only considered a minor problem.

Extrinsic blindness, such as getting hit in the face with a cream pie, can be cured by wiping your face using the #wipe command or applying a towel, or removing whatever it is that is blinding you (a blindfold for example). Having a cursed blindfold or towel stuck to your face is considered a major problem, so if it is safe to pray, your god is likely to help you out of this predicament.
