Bill Summary
For legislation to establish a low vision registry. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a low vision registry in Massachusetts. The registry will list people whose visual acuity, even with correction, is 20/60 or worse in the better eye, or whose peripheral field of vision has contracted to 10 degrees or less, regardless of visual acuity. The registry will help the Commission for the Blind measure the number of potential future registrants. However, people on the low vision registry will not be eligible for services from the Commission until they meet the standard for legal blindness.
