There's all manner of levels before blind
Monty's ex I think is registered visually disabled. A while ago I had an optician who wanted to do the same for me - luckily I found a better optician.

I dunno the exact rules,
But Bex has a thing from birth, during development in the womb, parts of her eyes started to calcify, so she had her eyes moved to see round them, but the trade off is that she has one focus point, so can see fine at about 4 inches in front of her face, then from there it gets steadily blurry until about a foot where she can't see anything but splodges of colour.

Wait, back up there...
She had her eyes moved??

yeah,
Operations every year for about 10 years to move where the eyes pointed until they found a focus point good enough for her to be able to read.
