partial blindness
Seeing, but incompletely
Partial blindness is vision loss that falls short of total blindness—the person can see something, but not normally.
The term covers a range of impairments: tunnel vision, blind spots, severe nearsightedness, or the ability to perceive only light and shadow.
His partial blindness qualified him for disability services.
