Hello Lieoni,
I've heard so much discussion on this chestnut in the past
that I believe that you'll work out how to knit fog before
you'll get agreement on which terms are best. There is a UK
official definition on this which allows for up to a certain
percentage of sight to be still registered blind and over
that, but under a higher amount, you are technically only
regesterable as partially-sighted. However, there is much
scope for medical error, differing evaluations and
subsequent small changes in what someone might be able to
see after being firstly registered in a given category.
John.

Subject: [access-uk] Appropriate terminology.
I'm curious as to people's opinions of the term "vision
impaired",
as opposed to "visually impaired", or "blind and partially
sighted people".
It's something I've been meaning to explore for a while,
so I'd much
appreciate people's thoughts. Thanks.
Léonie.
