I assume you are sincere and not trolling:
Vision Loss: Definitions
Visual impairment: trouble seeing with one or both eyes even when
wearing glasses or contacts.
Severe visual impairment: inability to read ordinary newsprint even with
the best correction (glasses or contact lenses).
Low vision: vision that cannot be further improved by corrective lenses
or medical or surgical intervention, although low vision rehabilitation
may help someone to use remaining sight more effectively.
Legal blindness: a central visual acuity for distance of 20/200 or
poorer in the better eye with correction, or a field of vision no
greater than 20 degrees in widest diameter.
Functional blindness: no useful vision; clinically measured light
perception or less.
Hope that helps,
-Norman
