TBH your thread name is misleading. If you are partially blind you can still see but not as well. (quality) |
How so?
Sight is not a binary thing, it's not a case of perfect sight or no sight. My grandmother was registered as blind after an accident, it left her with ~10% of what was her regular sight, if she had a treatment to restore her sight from 10% to 50% then her sight would have been restored.
This man was partially blind, now he's not due to this treatment. His sight has been restored.
Sight is not binary.

My point is that he was never blind. His vision was just inhibited. Being blind means you CANNOT see and this man obviously could.

Partially blind!! Partially, that's the key word here. Partially. You can be partially blind and have your sight restored. Did you not read what I wrote? Being blind is not a binary thing, as in it can only be one way or the other. Being blind does not mean that you can't see full stop, if you're missing 90% of your vision then you are by definition partially blind.
Partially blind is a perfectly viable term to us. No-one said he was 100% blind, they said he was partially blind.

Your lack of common sense is disturbing.
|
Before we get in a yelling match, what do you think partially blind means?
|
It would mean that your vision is impaired but you could still see.

Ok, so what was the status of the guy in the article before the stem cell treatment?
