BTW I looked up what exactly is "legally blind". It is even after wearing corrective lenses or glasses that you cannot achieve 20/20, but rather 20/200 or worse. I think that means that what a person with 20/20 vision can see at 200 ft, a legally blind person could only see it at 20 ft.
My vision is so bad that there is only one stronger rx of corrective lenses above the one I wear. -11.5, and my eye doctor told me -12 is the strongest. If my vision gets worse, then there's nothing else I can do. Unless I can raise $16000 for surgery. 
Going blind and legally blind are two different things. What did she say? Blind or legally blind? |
I really can not remember. My friend has eye issues and will go blind if he doesn't get surgery and he is very poor and was able to get Oboma care free but he is having a hard time finding a surgeon who will take it to do the surgery. They have to cut a " trap door" in his eye. My dad also has a cb radio buddy he hangs out with a lot who is legally blind and he owns a tire and car fix it place, they had flooded really bad when we had bad flooding a few years ago and my parents went to help and my mom said he knew every tool by touch and there are still things he can work on mostly by using touch. He normally has his wife go every where with him to tell him like when there is a curb or hole or something but he feels comfortable enough to let my dad do it now.
