How did Andrea Bocelli get blind?

I often notice that Andrea Bocelli closes his eyes during his music videos and concerts, which leads me to assume that he is blind. Can you please share how he lost his sight?

When he was ten years old he wanted to play soccer. So his parents enrolled him in this soccer league, and one day when he was playing, he fell and hit his head. Whatever way he hit himself, he damaged his optic nerve, and he went blind.

"Born with conԍᴇɴιтᴀʟ glaucoma, Bocelli became totally blind at the age of 12 after a football accident."
