My glasses prescription is the following: sphere (-10.0), cylinder (-2.0), axis (176). for tax purposes, i need to know if this characterizes someone as legally blind. not sure if this is 20/200?

No: Legal blindness is determined and classified as vision with correction. 20/200 is one of the criteria and classification for legal blindness, but this is determined after you put you glasses on.

Legally blind: Without glasses your vision is less than 20/200. Yes this is considered legally blind but you should see close to 20/20 with glasses or contact lenses. Tax purposes involves those that cannot improve the vision better than 20/200.

No: Legal blindness is based on best corrected vision not just vision. If this is correctable to better than 20/200 with rx then this is considered fraud for tax reasons.

Depends: If this is your prescription and it does not allow you to see 20/200, then you are legally blind in that eye. Legal blindness for tax purposes requires 20/200 vision or worse in both eyes.
