       "I’d want them to know that 295 million people in the world have moderate-to-severe visual impairment, and 43 million are blind. This total is roughly equivalent to the entire population of the United States."https://www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-blind-braille-americans-disabilities-act-squirrel-hill/

       @freemo @jaysonmassey Blind for US federal tax purposes is corrected vision of 20/200 or worse.For driving in California you need corrected vision of 20/40 or better to get a drivers license, although you can get a 30 day extension at 20/70 in order to get new glasses.  Below 20/40 you need a doctors signed form and need to take a vision driving test.  You have to be at least 20/200 to get a vision driving test.  If you have a progressive condition like cataracts and 20/40 or worse you need to take the driving test every two years.
