eyes

my mom called me and she had went to her eye doctor and he declared her legally blind with 20/40 20/80 she thought ..and when he practically hollered at her she cannot drive anymore she called me wondering what the deal is.  Can you please tell what they base legally blind on? Like what test etc.My mother has been down a tough road as far as her health is concerned and is rather upset they said this as she says..I can see fine..

That is not legal blindness which is 20/200 OR WORSE IN THE BEST EYE. or less than 10 degrees of field of vision.   Suggest you consider getting a second opinion.  Find an Eye MD near her at www.aao.org
