You know how some blinde people can see like the shadow-y outline of things......?

Question

.....but not like their facial expressions or anything, just the dark outline?? Is that called anything specific, or is it just called "Being Blind"????? I need an answer ASAP!!

Answer 1

It could be Macular degeneration that your talking about - Your describing a central scotoma (blind spot) that would likely be due to that.

"Partially sighted" is the correct term to those who suffer from a visual impairment but arent actually "Blind"

"blind" is a term given to describe someone who's vision is so poor it leaves them "unable to work"- Ie its more of a social classification.

very few people are actually completely blind (ie. no light whatsoever)

so to answer your question its termed Partially sighted with a central scotoma. / peripheral vision only.
