Yes, Mike it means with best correction.  I worked in a Low Vision clinic for 11 years.  So, I'm pretty sure you should add that to your definition.

  Good morning everyone,

  I'm scheduled to be on a local TV show this next week. The local Fox Morning Blend show.

  This is to promote our 8th annual Vision Awareness Walk A Thon and the White Cane Law. On Saturday October 15.

  We will tape the show on Thursday October 13 and the show will air on Friday October 14.

  I know the definition of Legal Blindness is Vision less than 20/200 with a field of vision no greater than 20%. Is this correct?

  If so, does the Less than 20/200 mean corrected, I mean with glasses

  As in, if you wear glasses and it brings your vision to greater than 20/200, are you still legally blind?

   

  Thanks,.Mike
