• A blind woman who lives alone should light her Shabbat candle(s) with a blessing.

• If she is married to a non-visually impaired person, her husband should light the Shabbat candles with the blessing.

• If she is eating and lighting in the company of others who are non-visually impaired, and they lit the Shabbat candles, she should light her own Shabbat candle(s), but without the blessing.

• (If at all possible, she should not be the last one to light the Shabbat candle(s), so that she could be absolved by the latter's blessing.)
