Question:
This question is for adults with a lazy eye,are you eligable for disability?
I am an adult who has a lazy eye and looking for other adults to communicate with on this eye problem.
Answers:
usually not.
in the U.S. you'd have to prove to be *worse* than 20/70 acuity in the BETTER EYE, even with best possible correction. the vast majority of people with "lazy eye" or amblyopia only have it in one eye, and the other eye is normal.
you'd have to have "bilateral" ambyopia and best corrected visual acuity of 20/80 or worse in BOTH eyes. i've never seen a patient who had this. i mean i have obviously seen legally blind patients, but not one who was legally blind solely from having "lazy eye" in the absence of any other ocular malady. that would be *exceedingly* rare.
