No you don’t! Computers and monitors are so advanced they have special settings for people with vision impairments.
Check out this article describing how someone with bad eyesight is a software engineer https://www.quora.com/How-does-a-visually-impaired-computer-programmer-do-programming

Not at all, there are loads of types of engineering that don’t require sight.

No luckily not!
I used to need glasses (I since have had laser eye correction – great invention btw) and I currently suffer from color blindness, tone deafness and virtually no sense of smell.
Color blindness can be a pain – especially when the job requires wiring – I was told as a child I could never be an electrician. Having no sense of smell can be annoying at times too – there have been a couple of occasions where electrical shorts have caused expensive boards to burn out – and these could probably have been stopped if I could smell the burning (I am told the smell is distinctive!). -
