My vision is 3/60, in one eye and blind in the other eye. In other words, what a sighted person can see at 60 meters I can see at 3 meters. Thank you.

(a) verbal means (such as hearing or lip reading) alone,
(b) non-verbal means (such as reading 16 point print or Braille) alone, or

People with acuity below 3/60 on the Snellen chart would be considered as severely sight impaired. People with acuity of 3/60 but less than 6/60 with significant visual field restriction may also be registered as severely sight impaired. For sight impairment there is no formal definition, however those with acuity of 3/60 to 6/60 with a full visual field may be registered as sight impaired. Those who have a gross contraction of the visual field and vision of 6/18 or even better may also be registered as sight impaired.
