The rule is apparently that a player must have at least 20/400 vision in both eyes -- which is barely functional sight. Learned this on the Bryan Berard Wikipedia page. He had a special contact lens to make his vision 20/400 after the Hossa incident. His vision in that eye without the contact lens was 20/600.
