According to the EEOC, it’s a disability:

A vision impairment does not need to “prevent, or significantly or severely restrict,” an individual’s ability to see in order to be a disability, as long as the individual’s vision is substantially limited when compared to the vision of most people in the general population.

And it sounds like her employer is doing the right thing. But if ever she feels she is not being treated fairly, she should talk to a lawyer to be sure. Don’t just let it slide because she has one good eye. Hell it might be good to talk to a lawyer anyway, so she knows what to look out for in the future if things happen to change.

Thank you, I think she believes she is not protected. I'll look into this.

It might not qualify her for disability insurance, as in she no longer needs to work any jobs, but should absolutely entitle her to disability protections, as in job requirements should be modified to permit her to continue to work. If her employer is not making accommodations to permit her to continue to work then she might have a legal case.

How do you know the EEOC applies where she is?

[–] rockSlayer 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is enforced by the EEOC.

I think what they're getting at is not every person on the Internet lives in the United States.

That's generally a fair criticism, but the context from the rest of this particular thread is clearly US based

You’re right. I made an assumption about where she lives. I shouldn’t have, but I did. The advice about talking to a lawyer to know her rights, though, is universal regardless of where she lives. So I still stand by my statements.
