Yes, we consider a person to be legally blind if their vision can't be corrected to better than 20/200 in their better eye or if their visual field is 20 degrees or less, even with a corrective lens.
So, what if I don't meet the lagal definition of blindness?
You could still qualify for disability benefits if your visual problems alone or combined with other health conditions prevents you from working.
Ok, now I'd like to know how do social security decides if an adult child is disabled and can get disability benefits?
