Dear AI members, Greetings!
We have been regularly asked by the people on our helpdesk about a clear distinction between low vision and blind. Our current PWD act provides quite clear definition of blindness but there is no clear definition of low vision people. Hence, it becomes difficult to know up to what percentage of impairment the person is considered low vision and after that he is considered blind. Is there any rule regarding this which establishes a clear distinction between the two?
