I'm familiar with Zelazny's character.  As I remember, she ends up
destroying the psychologist because of her neurosies, which are
directly caused by her blindness.  I did find the dog guide hunting
non-working dogs interesting though, even if Roger gave the dog more
credit for getting his mistess through life than he diserved.  Still, a
driving dog...

As for protrayals of blind people in SF, two that spring immediate;y
to mind are Roger Zelanzny's "He Who Shapes" (expanded into _The
Dream Master_) and Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Blind Geometer,"
which won the Nebula for Best Novella a few years back.
