It really depends on the cause of the vision problem. My son has 20/200 vision and it is caused by his optic nerves being under developed. There is way to correct his vision because there is nothing that can be done to the optic nerves. If the problem is with the eye itself there may be a way to improve the vision. There are basically three things that can be the source of the visual problem, eyes, optic nerve, and brain. The best thing to do is have the child evaluated by a pediatric opthalmologist. They'll be able to recommend the next step. If the cause of the blindness is in the brain the child will likely be recommended to a pediatric neurologist as well. And being legally blind is by no means the end of the world. There are lots of great resources available out there. www.wonderbaby.org is a great place to start.
