Total Blindness. Total, permanent and irreversible loss of all vision (visual acuity of less than 6/60 in the better eye even with the use of visual aids) in both eyes as a result of illness or accident. This diagnosis must be confirmed by a Consultant Ophthalmologist. The blindness must not be correctable by aides or surgical procedures. To establish permanent loss of vision, total loss of vision should normally need to have persisted for at least six consecutive months.
