Blindness

As defined in the parental blindness statute, Blindness means either that a parent’s vision in their best eye in 20/200 or less with the use of a corrective lens OR a degenerative condition can reasonably be expected to reduce their vision 20/200 or less with the use of a corrective lens. The parental blindness prohibits courts from using blindness against a parent in a custody case unless the Court makes findings that the vision impairment makes it impossible for them to watch a child.
