If a patient has 20\/200 vision, it means they can see at 20 feet what they should be able to see at 200 feet away. &nbsp;At 20\/200, even with glasses, they are considered legally blind. Risk factors for legal blindness include being assigned female at birth, being over 50, undergoing eye surgery or having a systemic disease, like diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus puts clients at risk for diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to legal blindness. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus can lead to elevated blood glucose, which over time, can damage the vessels of the retina, leading to permanent visual impairment. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"549\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/major-takeaway.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/major-takeaway.png 1122w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/major-takeaway.png?resize=300,161 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/major-takeaway.png?resize=768,412 768w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/major-takeaway.png?resize=1024,549 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_answer_explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect answer explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_Peptic_ulcer_disease\"><\/span>B.
