What is legally blind?!


Question: What is legally blind!?
Someone said that I am "Blind"!. I have a -5!.50 in each eye!. Should I be worried!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There seems to be a lot of confusion about what constitutes being legally blind!. If, WITH correction, you cannot see any better than 20/200 with the better eye, you are legally blind!. Or, if your visual field is less than 20 degrees!. It doesn't matter how bad your vision is without correction, if you can be corrected to better that 20/200, you are not legally blind!.

I think when they said you were "blind" they were just meaning your uncorrected vision is very poor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, what you can't see won't hurt you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
