John Milton's health was poor when he wrote "Paradise Lost." He was almost completely blind, suffering from glaucoma and cataracts, which made writing a monumental challenge for him. Despite his health issues, Milton was determined to complete his epic poem and dictated the verses to his daughters and amanuenses.
