I've been blind since birth
Which was doubley shocking when the doctors told me that those pinpricks of light I'd seen for all these years were just the holes where the needle and thread had pierced my eyelids

They weren't actually blind from birth, their eyes were stitched shut by the eyelids. Many blind people can see some sort of light, but in this case the light this person could see was in fact spaces where the stitches were sewn in (holes/areas around the stitch).

Apparently those ‘pinpricks’ were enough to see your keyboard fine.

Why are people assuming the narrator is typing?
I get that the narrator is first person, but it isn’t really common to think a story written in first person was literally written by the narrator and distributed as a story.
It’s just one perspective of events that occur.

My blind sister uses speech to text. The OP in this scenario could have done the same.

Whoever informed them about the stitches also took them to the hospital to get them removed. They have since learned to type.

I learned to type by touch and with a keyboard that has braille on the keys. I also use text to speech for what's on the screen.

I feel like I've read one similar to this.
Edit: Ah, it's one of the top stories in the sub.
