Yes. In fact I have. I have also tried to program like the blind[1] because I have often worried what would happen if I went blind. The reason a manager might not want to hire a blind person is if they do not think they have good verbal communication, e.g. they want to diagram and whiteboard and are worried you won't be able to keep up. However I think strong verbal communication is essential for software engineer management, so you probably don't want to work for anyone who cares whether you're blind or not for more than just the obvious reason. You might also consider remote work and/or contracting because you can rely more on your written communication instead of face-to-face.
