Paralympics?

As he is so good, is there any information on the Paralympics expanding to cover visually impaired archery? -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 18:36, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question re: actual vision

Is his vision corrected or correctable to 20/200, or is that the uncorrected value? The article on legally blind says that if best corrected vision is 20/200, that's legally blind.

He is not legally blind according to Wikis article on blindness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legally_blind#Classification based on two criteria - his "best" eye is 20/100 and his worst eye (20/200) is uncorrected.

How do you get this fixed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.144.18.139 (talk) 12:05, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the person above. In addition, criteria for legal blindness differs from country to country. Wikipedia should reflect it's international audience, not just it's American audience. Ultimately I feel as though there is no value in stating that he's legally blind when his visual acuity has been stated. Perhaps we can also get a metric acuity measurement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.138.105 (talk) 06:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing the legally blind remark from the article. There is no evidence to support that he is legally blind other than a misinformed remark in the header of a reuters article. He has 20/200 in his left eye, not in his right eye. In his dominant right eye he has 20/100. These number imply he is merely mildly myopic. He can correct his vision to 20/20 using glasses, but does not want to wear glasses. This does not qualify him as legally blind.--Votecoffee (talk) 18:34, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
