thread_title:  Removed non-notable literary references 

message: According to the World Health Organization the definition of blindness specifies visual acuity less than 20/400 and/ or remaining visual field less than 10 degrees in the better seeing eye.http://www.aoa.org/documents/CPG-14.pdf This is in contradiction to the American Foundation for the Blind's 20/200 definition.

thread_title:  Legally Blind is at 20/400 

message: As a legally-blind user, might I suggest the addition of the use of the camera application on various smart phones and their zoom functions in order to quickly see things far away? In the past, I've also used this trick when using traditional, point-and-shoot digital cameras. Thank you! - BlindWolf8 (talk) 05:59, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggested Addition - Use of smartphones/cameras? 

message: Are blind people any more susceptible to disorders of balance or increased experience of dizziness? This area of research looks interesting: "We also conduct world-leading research into the mechanisms underlying the generation of sound from the ears (‘otoacoustic emissions'), the processes involved in age- and inflammation-related hearing loss, how echoes could be used by blind people to ‘see' (human echolocation) and new diagnostic tests for the balance part of the inner ear (the vestibular apparatus)..

replies: text: I'm not sure  about blind people in general, but blindness can have so many causes, and these can lead to their own problems (e.g. preterm birth). Prompted by this message, I've just copied a bit of text from the human echolocation page to the "Mobility" section of the blindness article. Graham87 15:43, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's a very useful addition. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
