When I flew the DC-10 a million years ago, TCH (Threshold Crossing Height) was hammered into us. I seem to remember that the DC-10 had a TCH of 48 feet so any runway that had a TCH of less than 50 feet, then a visual adjustment had to be made.
One national airline decided to ignore this with a DC-10 on one of the runways at Boston. He took out most of the close-in approach lights and the aircraft was subsequently written-off.
I also seem to remember that we used to visually aim for 3 whites and 1 red.
