Legally blind persons have some sight, accuity less than 20-200 or with a range narrower than 20 degrees or something similar. My mother was legally blind due to early onset glaucoma. Me, on the other hand, I am totally blind as a result of having both eyes removed. “See” the potential differences? Some legally blind persons can see well enough to pass a visual accuity driving test, unfortunately they can only see things directly in front of them and even small variances outside of directly in front even at distance goes outside their field of view. Then there is visually impaired… I could not tell you who sets that standard, although I know the IRS follows it… Maybe librarian of congress? After all, it is used to determine eligibility for talking books… :DBut hey, there are lawyers here, I am sure someone knows or knows how to find out better than an interested spectator.

Can someone be illegally blind?

In this case, are we supposed to believe he is visiting Playboy for the articles?

They had a subscription to Playboy in Braille!

I found this article about the Braille edition:
