A very good question. It should be possible,
but a magistrate performs lot of investigation into documents, articles and is required to identify people, well will you be able to do that.

The elgiblity criteria in the A.P. Judicial Services has to be verified and since you are an Advocate , please go through the same with the necessery assistance.If you are otherwise qualified and the blindness is not a disabling factor as per the eligiblity criterai , you can try for the same since you are allready a member of the Bar.

The matter requires to be examined in the light of the above observations.
