Truss with point about pound showing lack of vision (9)

I believe the answer is:

blindness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pound showing lack of vision' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'truss with point' is the wordplay.
'truss with' becomes 'blind' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'point' becomes 'ness' (ness can mean a geographical point).
'blind'+'ness'='BLINDNESS'

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blindness that I've seen before include "Topic of one poem by Milton" , "Milton's final affliction" , "Failing to see" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
