Blindness
If you weren’t totally blind as of December 31, 2021, you must get a statement certified by your eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) that:
• You can't see better than 20/200 in your better eye with glasses or contact lenses, or
• Your field of vision is 20 degrees or less.
If your eye condition isn't likely to improve beyond the conditions listed above, you can get a statement certified by your eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) to this effect instead.
You must keep the statement for your records.
