Anyone who thinks about this for a minute or two can easily envision circumstances where a totally blind woman could effectively use a firearm to defend herself.

(Say, by jamming the muzzle of her pistol into the side of the person attacking her and pulling the trigger.)

So, why would being blind be a reason to strip Second Amendment rights from someone?

People who are not blind can still carry guns at night, when they cannot see well.

Agreed, also for home invasion purposes as well, a Blind person with a shotgun could be valuable for protecting their life.

There are also people who are blind in that their eyes are clouded/blurry but can recognize shapes even though they are listed as “legally blind”...
