Can a legally blind child or adult be helped to better utilize their remaining vision?
A. Legal blindness refers to distance not near (reading) visual acuity. The majority of the legally blind population can read standard size print and computer monitors with the help of specialized optical, electronic and computerized low vision devices. In addition, distance vision can be significantly enhanced with telescopic devices. Many adults with lesser forms of visual impairment can continue to drive according to state law, if they fall within the outlined parameters.
