Only if we assume that being able to see is part of what makes us human, which makes people who can't see somehow less human. But if we build a society that makes it as easy for those who cannot see to live a full life as for those who can, then it's no longer a disability.

To make something a disability, we must first assume that having that ability is the norm.
