Well from what I'm aware of what makes it a visual impairment as opposed to someone just being a glasses wearer is nothing does correct vision. Do you mean aid that people use to help them? My daughter uses a mercury 12 in school for example

Yeah, that's what I meant. I'll edit it now.

Sometimes I wear glasses for eye protection, but nothing corrects my vision. If it could be corrected, I wouldn't be here.
But mostly, I use a big monitor, larger fonts, and the screen magnifier that's built into MacOS.
For everyday life stuff not on the computer, I use a magnifier or grab my phone and use the camera to zoom in on things I need to see (I play a lot of boardgames this way).
Most things around the house/common places I go to I just do without any assistive tech/devices/glasses/etc.
I use a white cane at night or in unfamiliar places.

If you are considred legally blind, you cant really correct your vision. At least not much, or else you wouldnt be considreed blind.

You cannot truly "correct" your vision if you are visually impaired lol. But glasses and contacts may help.

Glasses and LSD for closed eye visuals

You should add an option that says “I can’t” or “I don’t” or something like that... I CAN use glasses, but the amount they help is barely even noticeable. I stopped wearing them because it became unsafe while also wearing a mask and I have only noticed reduction in headaches

Can't use devices to correct central vision loss lol.

I have glasses that help but can't correct. I'm also light sensitive so in bright lights I can only see the color yellow.
