B

This Sport Class applies to Athletes with a vision impairment (VI) who meet the Minimum Impairment Criteria. While there is one Sport Class for Athletes with a vision impairment (VI) in Para Cycling (B), athletes are designated B1, B2, B3 in the Classification Master List in accordance with the IBSA visual classes: http://www.ibsasport.org/classification/.

Minimum Impairment Criteria for Athletes with a Vision Impairment have been set based on the Athlete's corrected vision. The difference in approach for Athletes with Vision Impairment must be seen within the historical context of Classification for these Athletes, which is an assessment with 'best correction' as used in the context of medical diagnostics for visual acuity.

To be eligible to compete in Para Cycling, the Athlete must meet both criteria below: - The Athlete must have at least one of the following Impairments: - impairment of the eye structure; - impairment of the optical nerve/optic pathways; - impairment of the visual cortex - The Athlete's Visual Impairment must result in a visual acuity of less than or equal to LogMAR 1.0 (6/60) or a visual field restricted to less than 40 degrees diameter.
