Low Vision Disability

If my wife have Have low vision disability in the evenings. Night blindness.
There is any possibility to get my children also

My mother has night blindness, but neither I nor my siblings have it.

There are many different causes of night blindness, so it will depend a lot on what caused your wife's night blindness. I think that generally children of people with night blindness don't have a bigger chance than others of getting it. Of course there is always some chance that they will get it, but I'd say it's rather unlikely.

You could consult your wife's doctor if this is a big issue for you. I don't know your wife's medical history or what caused her night blindness, so I can only give you general info about it.

Alarmingly, more than 16 million people in the US and 314 million worldwide report some form of visual impairment. "VisionZone: You're ...

The eye doctor said my son is definitely elligible for disability benefits. I have filled out the application before but was not approved due to my ira account and how much I have saved for my retirement. If you have over 3000.00 apparently you have to spend down till you have under this amount. Is this still the case?What does my retirement money have anything to do with my 16 year old son's ability to collect disability?

Yes there still is an income and resource limit. SSI is only meant for financially needy families. It is a welfare program. When your son turns 18 he can file for disability as an independent adult.

Can a person with low vision migrate to Australia on a permanent residence status? He has passed the points required but he will sureley fail in the eye examination. Does Australia discriminates those persons with disability coming to live and work in their country? The health requirement is what stopping him from persuing the application. Please help anyone!

i wouldnt know,but please,please take me with you! x

Would you hire me even though I have low vision?
I have a question out there for any one who doesn't manage somewhere like a grocery store, or retail. I am 20 years old and a college sophomore, but I have low vision. (20/80). I am legally able to drive in my state, but I only l ike to drive during the day, and to places I know well around town. Anyway, I am an accounting major at Salisbury University and I am worried that when I go out into the real world to start my career people will be less likely to hire me because of my low vision. I know it is technically illegal to so, but it would mean that I would not be able to drive to meetings in far away places. I generally do not think it would impact my quality of work.

I have good grades, and am part of a very good business program at my university. I have never had a hard time finding a part time job perse, but am really concerned about my career. So I am asking yout o be honest. Would you hesitate to hire me because of this disability, or would you be more concerned with other aspects of my resume.

I have congenital motor nystagmus, my low vision is not by any means correctable to more than 20/70

I would be looking for a job as an accountant, for either corporation, a business, or somewhere like a board of education..etc.

first off if you are able to drive then you have normal corrected vision, If you are going to be using your eyes looking at a computer screen for 8-10 hours a day it will be a terrible strain on your condition,secondly it is not illegal to not hire you, employers may be able to make "reasonable accommodations" but are not obligated to do so

Yes, I would hire you. My main concerns in hiring someone revolve around skills, experience, and personality (does he/she fit in with the rest of the department). Since you have successfully held part-time jobs, your supervisors can vouch for your work ethic, abilities, skills, reliability, etc.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

P.S. The only caveat is I am assuming you are applying for a job that is primarily office-based and doesn't require much travel/driving. If you are looking to become a sales rep in a position that involves lots of driving in a large area, including night driving, then my answer would be no because there's not a match between the job requirements and your abilities.
