At a young age Marie-Lure looses her vision, as the years go by she hangs on to the memories of seeing. Even though she is unable to see she can imagine things described by her father, uncle etc. Marie-Lure's blindness lets the author use so much imagery of the beach setting and the streets that the reader can almost see it. Being blind, Marie-Lure also is unable to see the cruelty as much making the book less graphic and sad. How would the story be different if Marie-Lure weren't blind?

If Marie-Laure was not blind, she would have a very different story line. Being blind is something that makes her unique to the plot. In my opinion, the author used her blindness to show how even in the toughest of times, you can make it through and push harder.
In this case, she worked hard to find her way around and study her surroundings while adapting to all the changes in her life due to the war. Her blindness made her stronger throughout the story.
