Different governments have different requirements for being "legally blind". In North America and most of Europe, a person must have 20/200 vision (the equivalent to 6/60) or worse in their better eye WITH the best correction possible. Also, a person who has normal vision but an impaired visual field can qualify as legally blind. The normal visual field is 180 degrees, and the person must have 20 degrees or less.
