I think parent poster is actually only partially blind

  Correct. Legally blind, meaning, for example, that I can't drive, but with enough sight to read text up close if it's large enough. Edit to add: I do increasingly depend on a screen reader, though not yet for my actual programming work. ETA 2: Sorry for the confusion in the original comment. I've become wary of terms like "visually impaired", because they wreak of over-sensitivity and political correctness. But there's also something to be said for accurately and clearly communicating the actual condition.

    "Visually impaired" is a WHO technical term that encompasses visual acuity worse than 6/18.

      WHO depends on labeling people as “crippled” despite their inability to define normal.

    Nah, you were precise enough, I just misread the "like me" part — my apologies.
