of this subsection, "blindness" means central visual acuity of 20/200
or less in the better eye with the use of a correcting lens. An eye
that is accompanied by a limitation in the fields of vision such that
the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle no greater
than 20° shall be considered as having a central visual acuity
