Q

A person with low vision is one who has impairment of visual function for whom full remediation is not possible by conventional spectacles, contact lenses, or medical intervention and which causes restriction in that person’s everyday life.

This definition includes, but is not limited to, those who are registered as blind and partially-sighted.
