That is a really good point. Blindness is a disability though the wearing of a veil would appear to be a matter of choice. If either a veil wearer or blind person were to be a juror, it should not be an issue , if in the dock, the veil should be removed ( veil wearing seems to be generally thought of as being latently deceptive, going off this thread at least)
