Blind will do for me, even though I've got some useful sight. Not enough to read print or recognise people, or even find a seat in a crowded meeting, but enough for basic orientation. Legally and medically speaking, I'm defined as blind in this country.
What is there to be ashamed of? It's not exactly most people's choice to be blind. 

Vince.

Hi. Looks like I've started a whole new debate. For me personally and
the way I've been bought up! Blind is something to be ashamed of and
the less the word is used in any form of life the better. I'm not
taking a passing shot at anyone! Just trying to encourage
mainstreemism within the blind community.

Impaired". He didn't mind at all the label blind as it applied to him. He 

associated with us totally blind folk, and as most of his friends were
totally blind, I believe he preferred our company. He would probably say, 
"I am blind" period dot".  His speech was full of colorful phrases he
created himself such as "period dot".

You may have vision to impair.  But many of us don't.  We are blind.
With no sight to impair.  So, why shouldn't we be proud to use the word
which most aptly describes us. If we were all called visually impaired, 

that would imply we all had vision to impair.  It would also further
stigmatize the word "blind". Which should be nothing about which to feel 

shame.  If that is what you are.  If that word is used to describe
various applications or other things, it might mean we all could use
them. Not just those who only require some sort of screen magnification 

to use them satisfactorily.

Hi. What is it with this blind word. Personally I find it annoying
along with a few others. Even Pacific apps for VI people are being
called blind so and so. It's embarrassing to say the least.

Here's the correct address:
