Yes,he went blind because the paint fell in his eyes because he was really close to the ceiling of the DOME

Answer 3: That is an impossible story. He painted the ceiling 1508-12; After that he worked as a painter, sculptor and architect until he died 52 years later in 1564. Also: there is no dome on the Sistine Chapel.
