Force blinding

Force blinding, or Blind, was a Force power classified by the Sith as part of the Offense school of abilities. The technique produced a burst of Force energy that overwhelmed a target's optic nerves, causing temporary blindness.

A powerful tool of the light side, a Jedi could obfuscate an opponent's sight, making it difficult for the adversary to spot and attack the Jedi or anyone else. However, a trained Force-sensitive who had prepared themselves could defend against this technique by using Force sight. Still, if the Jedi could blind an unprepared enemy before they reached out with Force Sight, the blind could still be effective. Although it was classically a light side power, both the Dark Jedi Yun and the Force apparition Dark Mara were able to use it.
