Levels of Low Vision Explained! (youtube.com)

This was a very good explanation, low-vision people are often overlooked, so it's important to bring it up. However, the 20/??? system is uncommon in Europe. Over here, we have decimal system, for example, my eyesight (with contacts) is considered 0.2 (20%) on one eye. Would it be like like 20/800 in my case?
I'm going to share this on my twitter. Meanwhile, you can also take a look at my blog post on low vision: http://www.designbypxlgirl.com/insights/7-misconceptions-about-low-vision-not-blindness/

Thank you! Great article yourself, as well! :) I'll be linking to it on my Facebook & Twitter pages. :) As for your 20% vision, that would be 20/100, so you'd fall in the "low vision" category. :)

Hey, I haven't checked reddit recently, hence the late reply, but thanks for the heads up. :) How much would be 5% vision? That's my eyesight without correction, so I'm guessing it will be 20/500 or something?

Close. :) 20% would be 20/400. :) Now it's my turn to apologize for the late reply! My blog, vlog & channel take up so much of my time, I only ever get on here once in a while these days!
