Legally blind is, according to the Social Security Administration, is a 20/200 or worse in your best eye. So yes, you are. Sorry.

It depends upon whether that 20/200 is with corrective lenses or not. If with corrective lenses in both eyes then you would be legally blind. If corrective lenses improves your vision to better than 20/200 then you are not.

If you see 20/200 with your best correction, then you are legally blind.

With your best correction means with your glasses on.

That, BTW, means that you can just see the large E on the top of a standard eye chart.

Ask your eye doctor.
