Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your brother is having
6/6 vision in right eye
6/60 vision in left eye.
He is having normal vision in right eye.
His vision in left eye comes under low vision with mild visual impairment.
He is eligible for 30% visual disability.
He can be considered as with low vision in one eye.
To be called as one eyed person the vision in one eye should be perception of light negative.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
