John Milton (1608-1674) has often been regarded as the greatest poet of his time, yet he did not compose his most famous work, Paradise Lost, until after he had become blind in both eyes. On the basis of clues in Milton's writings, several possible diagnoses have been advanced to explain his loss of vision. Herein the evidence for and against each theory is presented.
约翰·弥尔顿（1608 - 1674）常被视为他那个时代最伟大的诗人，然而他最著名的作品《失乐园》却是在他双目失明之后才创作出来的。根据弥尔顿作品中的线索，人们提出了几种可能的诊断来解释他的视力丧失。在此展示支持和反对每种理论的证据。
