Dear All Little correction. I'm informed by people that point five distinction is not as big issue as the definition of blind/low vision in the Bill which would prove detremental for both blind and low vision people.
Dear Vikas sir, if you could enlighten us how this existing proposed definition will hit hard to both blind and low vision people? I'm reproducing the definition mention on Page 91/92 of the draft Bill. 2. 'Blindness' refers to a condition where a person has any of the following conditions, after best correction: a) Total absence of sight; or b) Visual acuity not exceeding 3/60 or 10/200 (Snellen) in the better eye, or c) Limitation of the field of vision subtending an angle of 10 degree or worse. 11. 'Low-vision' refers to a condition where a person has any of the following conditions, namely: a) Visual acuity not exceeding 6/18 or 20/60 and less than 6/60 or 20/200 (Snellen) in the better eye with correcting lenses; or b) Limitation of the field of vision subtending an angle of more than 10 degree and up to 40 degree.
