Can I get disability if I am blind in one eye?

To meet the legal definition of "blind" and qualify for disability in the US, one must meet one or both of the following:

Less than 20/200 visual acuity in the BEST eye WITH the use of corrective devices,

and/or

Less than a 20 degree field of visual acuity.

If your vision is correctable with lenses to the above criteria, then you do not qualify.

There are a lot of factors to consider but if you are under the age of 55, then most likely no. Social Security only pays disability benefits to a person who has 20/200 vision or worse in both eyes with best correction and this blindness must last for at least 12 continuous months. You can go the the Social Security website and look for the Blue Book of Listings for more information.

im not even sure if u can. this is USA answers right?

here in the UK i read about a guy with terminal cancer being refused disability lol. any way if ur country is like ours just see your doctor and ask. u will probably be pointed to the benefits office, and then theyll probably have u medically examined by their own doctor and then decide whether ur fit to work or not

I am 55 and I am blind in my left eye,,retinal detachment caused by brain tumor....and they turned me down 3 times. very disappointed. My country has failed me, and I have maxed out SS for years. Good luck..Tom

Nope. You have to have 20/200 or worse corrected vision in the BETTER eye to qualify.

And have 50.minus .2 in other eye

i would assume it counts as a disability
