I am trying to find a book title it was about a nurse in love with a surgeon. He had been blinded by another nurse whom he had rejected. The Dr left and went to live in an island. The young nurse followed him disguised as an older woman to take care of him. He realized she was a young woman and made her marry him. He had a brother or half brother who described the girl as if she were the one who had blinded him and the Dr was confused. He ended up getting his sight back through an accident but lost the use of his arm.

Do you have any idea when this was published? Based on the plot, it sounds like an older book.

The only blind doctor book I found so far is Bitter Masquerade by Margery Hilton but not all the details match up.

Hi! Yes it is an older book at least 10 years. Just remember it was so good and I wanted to read it again.

Yes you are right this is close but not the book I am looking for. In that book he is a surgeon and she was his nurse that was blamed for the mistake that blinded him but it wasn't a mistake and the other nurse got away with it.

Maybe The Passionate Sinner by Violet Winspear?

I can't find a good descriptive summary for the book, but the description for the manga version is very detailed and sounds about right:

"Paul Von Setan is a genius surgeon acknowledged by the world for his accomplishments. The nurse Merlin unknowingly hands the doctor powerful eyedrops, which is part of a setup. The talented surgeon resultantly becomes blind; she then cries, “I have stolen everything that should be his!” Merlin is blamed for the incident and forced to leave the hospital. Merlin wishes to help the now-blind surgeon and make up for her action. She decides to follow the man she loves under an assumed identity to the remote tropical island where he hides himself after the incident. If it’s ever possible, she is willing to give herself to him...."
