I need help trying to figure out how or when casandra was blinded prior to the sacrifice of iphygenia by Aeschylus.

Aeschylus didn't sacrifice Iphigenia, anon. Her daddy did, and that was before the start of the Trojan war, so way before the events in the Oresteia.

Kassandra isn't blind

I understand that, I'm trying to figure out when the writer of the story decided to blind Cassandra I can't seem to find in the story at what point she was blinded or if she has ever been blinded, blinded may not mean just loss of eyesite but like blocked vision or something.

I don't remember her being blind. It's the others who are doomed to be blind to her prophecies.
>>9955983
Cassandra is not blind, ever, in any myth or play. Certainly not in the Oresteia.

That wasn't Cassandra, that was laocoon
>Laocoön begged the Trojans to set fire to the horse to ensure it was not a trick. Athena, angry with him and the Trojans, shook the ground around Laocoön's feet and painfully blinded him. The Trojans, watching this unfold, assumed Laocoön was punished for the Trojans' mutilating and doubting Sinon, the undercover Greek soldier sent to convince the Trojans to let him and the horse inside their city walls.
