Third, the impairment or disability must not be readily capable of being improved such that the individual acquires visual function that substantially corresponds to the visual function of persons who do not have such an impairment or disability. For example, the MT would not apply to a person whose visual impairment can be corrected with eyeglasses, provided that such correction is physically and accessible to that individual. It is important to understand the type of improvements that would lead and non-print-disabled persons to have a “substantially equivalent” ability to read covered works. The MT’s attached considerable importance to this issue, as reflected in the Agreed Statement clarifying the phrase “cannot be improved.” The Agreed Statement that an individual remains covered by paragraph (b) even if theoretical or “medical diagnostic procedures and treatments” exist that would alleviate his or her impairment or disability.
