One-Eyed Person: There is a controversy regarding the inclusion of one-eyed persons in the category of blindness. The definition of blindness adopted in India exclude people with impairment only in one eye from the purview of blindness. Even in medical parlance, disability is synonymous to the physical impairment and the level of such impairment has been prescribed for certifying a person to be disabled. Generally, the impairment of 40 percent or more is considered a handicap. As percentage of impairment in the case of a one-eyed person is only 30 percent, according to the approved definition in medical parlance, a person with one good eye is not a blind person. In short, a person with visual impairment of 40 per cent or more is considered a blind person
