Jake Gyllenhaal Opens Up About Being Legally Blind, Taylor Swift Fans Make "All Too Well" Connection

Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift.

Jake Gyllenhaal has 20/1250 vision when not wearing corrective lenses, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter this week.

This is far below the threshold for being considered legally blind, which is 20/200, with Gyllenhaal having had to wear intensive corrective glasses and contact lenses at all times since he was a child. (It's worth pointing out that legal blindness is defined as a person having less than 20/200 vision even when wearing corrective lenses.)
