i am -10.00 in eye sight? Am i legally blind?!


Question: I am -10.00 in eye sight? Am i legally blind?
I'm seeing all these fractions, and things about distance that i really don't understand. I just want to know, am i?

Answers:

Your glasses prescription (-10.00) does not tell you anything about whether you are legally blind. Legal blindness means that you have poor vision even with your glasses on.

If you were legally blind, your eye doctor would have told you. You would be registered with your local foundation for the blind. You would be using special magnifiers to read your books. etc etc etc.

If you have not been told you are legally blind, you are not.



No, you are not legally blind, being legally blind means you are worse then 20/200 WITH glasses ON, but you can see well with your glasses so no.


Good luck



Can you use glasses to help you see? If so then you're not blind.
