My understanding is that in some cases a person may be legally blind but with corrective lenses can just about manage to get inside the limits of what's required to drive.

How many motorists would be considered legally blind but still driving without corrective lenses? Since you are usually tested at 17-20 years old yet can drive for another 50 years without another eye test, unless you've a C or D licence where you'll get a medical every 5 years.
