This makes me curious.

I just had the realization that "legally blonde", the comedy movie, may have been a pun on this expression, it makes much more sense now.
“Legally blind” doesn’t mean absolutely zero vision, as I understand it - many people can still benefit from more legible type.
Yes, the vast majority of blind people are not the stereotypical “whole world is black”. Even among the profoundly blind there is often some vague perception of light vs dark.
It means someone with 20/200 vision or worse.
