Crystalline structures tend to prefer square corners. Has to do with the lattice structure of the crystal, so a lot of compounds crystalize into squares - like salt.
You really wanna freak out, there's a giant hexagon on Saturn.

The premise of the OP is not about partially sighted people. "Legally blind" covers a huge range of optical conditions. My father is legally blind, but his coke-bottle trifocals mean he can see as well as I can.
Which means, despite being legally blind, he aint blind.
And tactile perception has nothing to do with deafness at all, so I mean... irrelevant. If you can use a different sense to see with, lemme know.

A. Check your spelling
B. People that are 100% blind cannot perceive light or dark.
C. Feeling vibrations is tactile, not auditory, so no, he didn't hear shit.

Gotta trim quill pens unless you have metal nibs.
So at the very least, incredibly niche, ancient writing methods do include pens which slowly shrink over time... sometimes.

No, bud. They don't have sight. Light, dark, whatever. They don't perceive it. At all.
Do you see darkness with your feet? Because your feet can see what a blind person's eyes can.

You know... you don't regress into a different life. You regress in your own.
Also, considering it's a physiological condition with measurable, physical signs and symptoms, it's far more likely to be a wasting disease of the aged.

Cassettes were better than CDs, but MP3s were better than both.
Kids born today are going to say exactly the same thing about tech today, you know.
