I'm myopic and astigmatic. Calling me "blind" is stupid. Calling me "visually impaired" is insulting, unless it's patronizing, what is even worse. The correct terms in Spanish, with those unfamiliar with medical terms. are "corto de vista" or simply "usa anteojos(or gafas, or lentes)/lentes de contacto(or lentillas)". "Visually impaired" as a euphemism has no translation. You may speak of "gente con limitaciones visuales" in general.

The whole thing of even having to explain this, it's ridiculous.
