It is if that is the best they can do with correction. That is the key point
with legally blind. A lot of us can not see any better with our glasses off,
but that is how they see with their glasses on. If your vision is fully
correctable you are not legally blind no matter how bad it is without
correction.

BTW, don't laugh too hard at the idea of a blind photographer. There are
at least three legally blind photographers living and working in the San
Francisco area that I know of ... their work is remarkable in that at least
two of them do their own printing as well as making photos, and one uses a
manual focus camera. He, I believe, is the least blind of the group, with
a 20/200 vision.
I had a blind photographer as a customer when I worked for CVS. He used
a P&S camera. No great works of art but he shot as well as half of my
customers.
WRT the blind photographer shooting the manual focus camera, I don't
believe 20/200 is even close to blind. I have 20/100 and my prescription
is not that severe. I'm sure the list must have an optometrist or eye
doctor that can confirm or correct me.
