What Is legal blindness?

You are legally blind when the best corrected central acuity is less than 20/200 (perfect visual acuity is 20/20) in your better eye, or your side vision is narrowed to 20 degrees or less in your better eye.

Even if you are legally blind, you may still have some useful vision. If you are legally blind, you may qualify for certain government benefits.

Our physicians urge patients not to skip routine comprehensive eye exams.
