What qualifies as low vision
“In Aotearoa New Zealand, you qualify as having low vision if your vision is 6/24 or less in your best eye with a correcting lens. This means you have to be at 6 metres to see what someone with normal vision can see at 24 metres.
You also qualify if your field of vision (how wide you can see things when looking straight ahead) is 20º or less. A person with normal vision can see 180º.”
