Is a visually impaired person considered a Person with Reduced Mobility (PRM)? - Three Guys Having a Toast

In Europe, all airlines are required to assist people with reduced mobility. I'm visually impaired, and soon flying with Iberia. So, I called them to ask for assistance at the airport. The guy who answered said that they only offered assistance with wheelchair travel (or something of that sort, the person sproke broken English, and the connection was bad).

I'm going to call again tomorrow during Dutch business hours and ask for help in Dutch (my native language), but in the meantime, if there's any useful info you can give me, that's greatly appreciated.
