Found: Blind girl defies father

A book about a blind girl with an overprotective father who ants to keep her on the house, but she explores and eventually gets surgery? I remember the cover being white and blue, with a sort of window, and a man, and the title had something to do with "my father". I got it from an old school library so I think it was pretty old.

I love this book.
The view beyond my father by Mabel Esther Allan. The Abelard edition (green cover, see link) fits your description too. https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-...

The Dodd, Mead & Company hardcover with DJ edition with the girl on the cover is what I have, a lovely illustration.

Thank you so much! It's definitely the view beyond my father, I really loved that book and completely forgot the title!
