The term 'partially blind' is used in medical, legal, and social contexts in both Brazil and the USA to describe individuals with significant visual impairment. In Brazil, such individuals may have access to specific government support programs and accessibility services. The terminology has shifted toward more inclusive language like 'visually impaired' or 'low-vision' in recent decades, though 'partially blind' remains medically descriptive and acceptable.
