You are correct that "legally blind" does not necessarily mean "can't see at all." But part of the definition is that the vision is not correctable to a certain level, even with lenses. So even though my vision is bad enough to qualify for blindness if it wasn't correctable* I'm not considered "blind" even without my glasses because it is correctable with lenses.
*Mine's even worse than what Gwen described -- not only can I not read the big "E," I can't even tell there's a chart on the wall unless the wall is painted a really dark color and the blurry light spot stands out.
