The definition of “Legally Blind” also slightly differs from common usage of blind and I’m pretty sure more than a few people who require glasses or contact lenses to drive are technically legally blind without them.

Count me in as one of those. No glasses, no driving. Reading a book, forget about it. Can see, but not identify large objects at a distance (20 ft plus).

I am NOT someone you would want either driving or in control of a weapon without my glasses. Hell I can’t even read what I am typing here unless I am within 6 inches of the monitor.

My glasses are THE FIRST THING I REACH FOR in the morning. If I can’t find them. I go into search/panic mode. I need them to see.

Without them, I am pretty much useless and dependent upon those around me. Not a comfortable place to be in.
