Yes. It is very much possible. Vision is totally subjective. That means the person see the things is perceived by the subject only. So you can bribe and get the blindness certificate. Most of the developed world can not imagine this. But the system can be corrupt from top to bottom. Specially in the country like India. I have already written about this. Laws in India were made by British designers. They were made in such a way to facilitate to trap the innocent Indian and liberate the culprit British citizen. The subsequent Indian administrators found it convenient to continue the laws. In spite of such laws, the British people rarely misused the laws. Subsequently the Indian politicians and bureaucrats misused the laws and developed the system to do large scale corruption. So as a result the most pious and religious people turned out to be the most corrupt. The world has to pay the price for this nefarious design of then British designers. It was short term gain and long term loss to the world as a whole to have one fifth population corrupt. People call you stupid in India, if you are not corrupt. Then there can be neurotic disorder, in which the person gets blind. Here the person is not blind. But he is not able to see also.

Then there can be malingers, who cheats the doctors. Here there can be competition between the person and the doctor. Usually it is not possible to cheat the expert. But it's not impossible.

A visual acuity of 20/400 is considered to be severely low vision, but not necessarily legally blind. Legal blindness is typically defined as a visual acuity of 20/200 or worse in the better eye with the best correction, or a restriction in the visual field to 20 degrees or less.
There is a range in blindness from visulally impaired through legally blind to totally blind. Legally blind in most jurisdictions is a range of vision where the person can only see at 20 feet wwhat a normal sighted person can see at 100 feet.

Legal blindness definitions vary but most commonly, if someone is registered legally blind they have visual acuity of 20/200 (6/60) or less in the better eye with best correction possible. Someone with average visual acuity may also be registered legally blind if ther visual field is less than 20 degress (around 180 degrees is normal) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When one's eyesight is so bad that it cannot be corrected back to at least 20/40 vision, but can still see light and shapes, then one is considered legally blind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some people have vision at all and they are of cause blind however, other people may always have had some vision or started out with vision that is now starting. There has to be some objective measure for these people which distinguishes them form people with just poor vision and allows them access to extra services to help them if they need it. The usual standard is that anyone with vision worse than 0/200 that cannot be improved with corrective lenses is considered legally blind. In addition, people with a visual field of less than 20 degrees diameter (10 degrees radius) are also considered legally blind.

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.
