[nabs-l] NLS qualifications

[Corbb O'Connor]

I'm no expert on NLS guidelines or the law -- but I do know that field  
restrictions play a role in legal blindness as well. I'm not sure if  
this applies to you or not, but that's something to consider. As for  
their rationale: I have no idea...have you tried contacting the NLS?

I'm curious. If someone has 20/70 and are considered low vision  
(definitely visually impaired since they can only see out of one eye),  
and have a difficult time with small print even though their acuity is  
very good (eye strain can come a lot easier since you only have one  
eye working), it's still out of their qualification guidelines and I'm  
wondering why. You have to be legally blind to be on their service,  
essentially, low vision doesn't count. Any ideas on that one? I'm  
curious.
