    Glasses to help see are prosthetics. People can be legally blind when not wearing their corrective lenses.

      Ok that’s fair. I’ve just never heard of glasses referred to as prosthetics and assumed you meant some kind of artificial seeing device. Which is suppose is what glasses are but I was hoping for a more high tech answer.

      I’m one of those people. Close to being legally blind if I have no glasses or contacts on. My dad is legally blind without corrective lenses.
