Social Security Disability Vision Disorders

The most common reason for vision problems in adults is glaucoma, diabetes and cataracts. While in children the most common reason for loss of vision stems from pre-birth defects. In an eye exam the doctor will evaluate extraocular muscle function, measure intraocular reflexes, test other types of reflexes in the eyes, and will examine the different parts of the eye. The doctor will examine both the extent of loss and the possibility to recovery of your lost sight.
