God used Ananias to heal Paul's blindness. Ananias was a disciple in Damascus whom God instructed to go and lay hands on Paul to restore his sight. Through Ananias' obedience and prayers, Paul's sight was miraculously restored.
God commanded Ananias to go to Straight Street in Damascus and lay his hands on Saul to restore his sight and baptize him. This encounter helped convert Saul, who later became the apostle Paul.

Yes, Ananias cured his blindness.
I would say that they are indeed different people. Ananias and Sapphira are mentioned in Acts chapter 5. The other Ananias is mentioned in Acts chapter 9 which I would think is at a later time.Although, When the Lord told Ananias to go to Saul, Ananias questioned the Lord (Acts 9:11-15) which is similarto the behavior exhibited by the Ananias who was married to Saphira and lied "...not unto men, but unto God." Acts 5:4
Ananias, a disciple of Jesus, restored Saul's sight through prayer after Saul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus and was temporarily blinded.
Ananias reacted defensively and angrily when Paul called him a whitewashed wall, as it was an insult implying that he looked good on the outside but was corrupt on the inside. This confrontation shows the tension and conflict between the two men in the Bible.
