A member asked:
How strong a prescription does someone have if legally blind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No relation: I don't know what type of prescription are you asking about, but the strength of the prescription is not related to vision problems. A legally blind patient should receive a medication strong enough to solve the patient's problem regardless of his visual capacity.
