Legally Annoying

I am quoting wikipedia here, "In order to determine which people may need special assistance because of their visual disabilities, various governmental jurisdictions have formulated more complex definitions referred to as legal blindness.[2] In North America and most of Europe, legal blindness is defined as visual acuity (vision) of 20/200 (6/60) or less in the better eye with best correction possible. This means that a legally blind individual would have to stand 20 feet (6.1 m) from an object to see it—with corrective lenses—with the same degree of clarity as a normally sighted person could from 200 feet (61 m). In many areas, people with average acuity who nonetheless have a visual field of less than 20 degrees (the norm being 180 degrees) are also classified as being legally blind. Approximately ten percent of those deemed legally blind, by any measure, have no vision. The rest have some vision, from light perception alone to relatively good acuity. Low vision is sometimes used to describe visual acuities from 20/70 to 20/200.[3]"

Not, consider this: my contacts NOW are -5.75, which means my eyes are nearing 20/400 vision,
According to this site. My last checkup was Xmas 2009, so I only hope this info is still accurate.




This combined with stress-and-light-triggered migraines is no longer fun. I adore my pretty eyes but DAMM, girls, you two got issues!
