No, "visually impaired" implies someone has superficial, trivial values
and reacts to persons by standards mindlessly absorbed from Madison Avenue,
the devil's wordshop.

"Ugly" in a visual sense implies something about the viewer, not the person
viewed.  "Visually impaired" means "unable to judge someone accurately
because he doesn't know how to use his eyes."  By extension, it has come to
mean someone whose visual acuity is impaired, perhaps to the extreme of
blindness.  :)
