Why is it ironic that oedipus blinds himself?
because jocasta is dead
because teiresias is blind too
because he finally “sees” or understands
because the oracle said he would

because he finally “sees” or understands.

Explanation:

In the myth of Oedipus, Oedipus is the son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta. King Laius knew of a prophecy in which his son would end up killing him, which led to him abandoning him to die on a mountainside. However, he was adopted, and when he grew older, he killed his biological father (without knowing his identity). After confronting the Sphinx and defeating it, Oedipus earned the hand of the widowed Queen, Jocasta, who was his biological mother. Upon realizing what had happened, many years later, Oedipus blinds himself. The irony is that when Oedipus became able to "see" the truth, it led him to lose the ability to "see" literally.
