Petition Amend the criteria to be certified sight impaired or severely sight impaired

The current criteria is shown below and does not appear to make sense

More details

Your ophthalmologist will carry out these tests on both of your eyes. If you have lost the sight in one of your eyes, your ophthalmologist will not be able to certify you as sight impaired or severely sight impaired unless you have significant sight loss in your other eye. This is because your other eye will largely compensate for the loss of sight in the affected eye.
