SSI: The Questions Which Are Asked To Determine Whether You Are Disabled

You are considered blind under Social Security rules if your vision cannot be corrected to better than 20/200 in your better eye, or if your visual field is 20 degrees or less, even with a corrective lens.

There are a number of special rules for people who are blind. The rules recognize the severe impact of blindness on the ability to work. For example, the earnings limit for people who are blind is generally higher than for people who are not blind. 

For more information about special rules for people who are blind, get a copy of the Social Security leaflet, If You Are Blind...How We Can Help (Publication No. 05-10052) . It is available at: www.ssa.gov/pubs/10052.pdf .
