T h e w o r d s " b l i n d " a n d "blindness" have never been defined to the satisfaction of the public. To most people, blind­ ness means total loss of sight. Someone with 20-20 vision, which is considered average or normal, sees at 20 feet what the majority of people with no vision loss see at the same distance. Visual acuity of 2-200 or less, with best correction, or a peripheral field of no greater than 20 degrees is known as "legal blindness". This term is used in establishing eligibility for blind services and in­ surance purposes. It means that an individual can only see at 20 feet what the visually unimpaired can see at 200 feet. A person considered "legally blind" may not be sightless bUt. is always extremely limited visually. Side vision, reduced to twenty degrees, is recognized as a form of blindness - even though, when looking straight ahead, the vision may be 20-20. Side vision is of vital im­ portance in driving a car. It warns you of movements on either side. Gradual loss of side vision is often a sign of glaucoma, a potentially blin­ ding eye disease which is a clothing for families in need in disaster areas.
