Most blind people can still see something.
- jcranmer 10y agoIt depends on your definition of blindness. About 10-20% of the US population self-report vision problems. About 20-30% of them reach the definition of legal blindness, which is vision that cannot be corrected to above 20/200 in at least one eye. About 20% of that population are totally blind, which is to say that they cannot even perceive someone shining a light in their eye. In the US, that amounts to about 200,000 people.
