Is 20/100 considered legally blind?
Answers:
NO...legally blind is when your sight cannot be corrected with coke bottles..glasses.
No, 20/100 (with or without glasses) is not considered "legally blind". In order to be declared legally blind, your vision must be 20/200 - with the best possible correction (glasses or contacts). You can also be declared legally blind if you have a visual field of 20 degrees or less.
I think so. They don't really use the 20 scale anymore, atleast not beyond a point, because there's so much variability. The idea is that vision can not be corrected to 20/30 or better.
The first poster is correct. 20/200 vision that cannot be made better is the cutoff. The 20/20 system is still very much in use. A person with 20/200 vision has the quality of sight at 20 feet that the "average/normal" person would have at 200.
I have 20/100 vision (without glasses, thank God; it's 20/20 with) and even without glasses it's not too bad. I mean, I can't SEE well, but I'm far from blind (although I get a hell of a headache).
