When children and adults apply for disability benefits and claim that a visual impairment has limited their ability to function, the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) is required to determine their eligibility. To ensure that these determinations are made fairly and consistently, SSA has developed criteria for eligibility and a process for assessing each claimant against the criteria. Visual Impairments: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits examines SSA's methods of determining disability for people with visual impairments, recommends changes that could be made now to improve the process and the outcomes, and identifies research needed to develop improved methods for the future. The report assesses tests of visual function, including visual acuity and visual fields whether visual impairments could be measured directly through visual task performance or other means of assessing disability. These other means include job analysis databases, which include information on the importance of vision to job tasks or skills, and measures of health-related quality of life, which take a person-centered approach to assessing visual function testing of infants and children, which differs in important ways from standard adult tests.

Researchers project one-half of the world's population will suffer from myopia (nearsightedness) by the year 2050. That's around 5 billion people! What's happening to our children and their eyesight? The answer to this question and what you can do to help your children is explored in this book, A Parent's Guide to Raising Children with Healthy Vision. Over 30 years Dr. Despotidis has spoken to thousands of parents who share one common goal - to raise healthy children in every sense of the word... physically, emotionally, and socially. This book is written to educate parents on the science behind myopia development and the serious consequences technology has on our children's social development. To provide a balanced perspective, Dr. D has enlisted the help of his younger colleague, Dr. Noah Tannen, and Kimberly Lee, a teacher with a Master in Education. Each brings a different viewpoint to raising children with healthy vision. Together they share their wisdom and insight into this global epidemic of childhood vision deterioration. Life is not black and white. There is no one formula for raising healthy, happy children. Every child is unique. That's the power of this book. It's filled with facts, insights, and recommendations, but ultimately it's a tool to enable parents to make the best decisions for their own children when it comes to vision. The authors' hopes are for parents to see the world through their eyes; as eye doctors, parents, and advocates who challenge the status quo and do what's best for their children.

The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.
