I was legally blind till Sept '03, when I had lasik. Like your husband, my vision was correctable via contacts and glasses so that I could drive, read, etc.But the article says that Greer is unable to drive because of his vision, so obviously contacts and glasses won't fix his problem, and it is apparently inoperable. I wonder if Greer's condition isn't just poor vision (20/1000 vision is legal blindness) like your husband and my presurgery vision, but some other condition which far more severe than what we had/have????? Have no idea what it could be , but it sounds worse than, eg, my severe myopia and the resulting legal blindness.

To clarify, my husband has retinitis pigmentosa. He is gradually losing his vision and will probably eventually lose it all. He retains a visual field of about 10 degrees (normal is about 160-180). However, he can watch a video.

My point was that Judge Greer might be able to see well enough to view a video while being legally blind.
