Why was Jellal Fernandes blindfolded?


In _Fairy Tail_ (2014) episode 70, Jellal was wearing a blindfold and was
being guided by Meredy. What is the reason that he was wearing this?




In chapter 369 (episode 240 aka episode 65 (2014)) Jellal crushed his own eyes
to prevent himself from falling for Nightmare's illusions. Seeing how he does
not have an artificial eye like Erza, he could not find another way to destroy
Midnight's illusions.
