What contact lens prescription number is legally blind?

Q: I’ve always wondered…you know the number on your prescription for contact lenses?? What counts as legally blind??

A: The severity of your prescription doesn’t have anything to do with whether you are legally blind or not. In the state of Oklahoma, legal blindness is defined as being unable to see better than 20/50 in the best eye with BEST CORRECTION. That means you could be EXTREMELY farsighted or nearsighted and as long as you are able to see better than 20/50 while wearing either eyeglasses or contact lenses then you would not be considered legally blind. The only exception to this would be if an individual had an eye disease that dramatically restricted their peripheral vision. In this situation the patient may have better than 20/50 central visual acuity but if they have restricted peripheral vision they could be considered to be legally blind. Each state sets its own standards as to what amount of acuity loss is necessary to be considered legally blind.
