Why doesn't Katara heal Toph's blindness?(Poll included)

So, why do you think Katara just doesn't heal Toph's blindness?

    marx also said there would be a communist revolution in some poxy little town somewhere in the middle of nowhere in england, and we all know how that turned out.


    But there has been Communist revolutions!
    Although the regimes where/are not true communist.

    he said the communist revolution would happen in britain, an industrialised country, instead it happened in russia, where approx 89% of people were peasants. (i should know, i've spent a whole trimester learning about it in history, i've learned so much, i wrote 'in soviet russia, history learns you' in my history folder)

    I think if Toph ever gets healed of her blindness, it will be in the epilogue where we find out she bathed or something in the oasis water and it cured her.

    some people are speculating that she would lose her powers if she recovered her sight

    I think that is preposterous, she has taught Aang how to see things with earthbending(and technically, she can teach Katara to sense things and people whenever they are at sea or walking in a river) and he did well as shown at the runaway

    so she would not lose her powers, if anything it will enhance it, because she would be able to see people who are in the air or in the water

    She definitely won't lose her powers but her ultra keen vibrational senses will diminish. Possibly preventing her from *gulp* metalbending. :O

    But she already knows how to do it so she can still be able to do it.

    some other people have already said this, and i'm almost certain it is right:

    toph blindness is her "natural condition", not a sickness, nor a injury, so there isn't anything to be healed, that's the way she is, zuko wasn't born with the scar so katara thought she could heal it, and got shot by lightning so she revived him, but in toph's case its different!

    (just to remember, just an opinion, but seems to bethe right thing to me)

    And the reposts goes on. Anyways if the writers want Toph to be healed BAM she will be healed, the question should be do the writers want such a thing?

    You understand the concepts of E-spooning out eyes and E-castration, right? Like E-mail. But much cooler.

    You can't use them anymore, but I imagine your eyes have sentimental value... I'll sell them back for $1000 a piece.
