Low vision is the term used to describe significant visual impairment that can't be corrected fully with glasses, contact lenses, medication or eye surgery. People with low vision can't see well enough to drive or read most printed text unless they enlarge it
Many people imagine blindness as complete darkness. But that’s not entirely true. The term “blindness” covers a broad spectrum of visual disability, from when your sight is impaired enough to interfere with daily activities like reading, cooking or driving, up to total blindness.
