Great news! They took Mickey to the Hospital. They took him a special Department and performed a Miracle operation to fully restore his sight! Yup… They rushed him to the I.C.U. He’s eating Cheetos and playing Candy Crush Saga; right now. ---

Those declared legally blind can see to an extent, just not as well as the rest of us. Maybe under this definition he can still yo-yo. Did this thread make it to page 3 yet? ;D “Legal blindness can be based on visual acuity (central vision) or visual field (peripheral vision). Visual acuity of 20/200 in the best-corrected eye qualifies as legally blind. Essentially, this means that what the legally blind person can see at 20 feet, the average observer can see at 200 feet.” ---

> [@mr.nightshadow95](#): > > Good point never thought about it like that. Well now my question is… is Hiroyuki legally blind? O.o lol It gets even deeper, because even if he is legally blind, he is wearing glasses with potentially corrective lenses. So, we have to find out of the sunglasses have corrective lenses, and whether he might be legally blind with the glasses, or without the glasses. With glasses… 8) Without glasses… 🙂 I had to do it.
