Bro, that's not even a little funny.
Don't think he was being funny. Losing your eye sight is VERY common cause of suicide. Article shows its not at all uncommon. Sudden and severe degradation in your quality of life is often the cause of suicide committed by otherwise sane individuals. Paralysis, losing both arms/legs/hands, and losing vision are very common causes along with losing huge amounts of money. And honestly, if you're not willing to follow them around 24/7 and take care of everything they used to be able to do for themselves, you don't really get to judge what is a an acceptable and unacceptable reason for suicide.
I would consider suicide for:
Lost vision
Lost both hands
Lost one hand and one arm
quadriplegic
Terminal illness with really bad pain
Alzheimers / complete memory loss
If someone else has to wipe my ass, I wouldn't really feel a need to stay living.
