I Build Up Castles

I build up castles.
I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind,
I help others to see.
What am I?

Sand.

@Erwin Sand is used to make glass, which can form a lens to help you see.

Line 1: Sandcastles.
Line 2: Sand can erode things or mountains can erode into sand.
Line 3: Sandstorms can blow sand into people’s eyes.
Line 4: Sand is used to make glass, like for glasses.

Water – not sand. Sand cannot do any of the above without another component.

1: Water is required to keep the sand stuck together
2: In order for sand to erode ANYTHING, it requires outside force from air or water (wind or gravity respectively)
3: Sandstorms require air, whereas looking into the rain blinds (or being underwater blurs enough to blind)
4: Water is required to allow anyone to see… saline is salt WATER.

I saw this riddle on Mega Man Battle Network 4, a video game from Game Boy Advanced. I wonder if someone ripped it off there or here or elsewhere
