- Light sensitivity that impacts ability to work
- Eye pain and discomfort levels
- Difficulty with computer work or detailed tasks
- Impact on driving ability
- Medical documentation from your eye specialist showing progression
- Failed treatments or ongoing symptoms despite treatment Consider working with a disability advocate or attorney who has experience with vision-related cases.
