DLA - visual impairment
Tue 10-Aug-04 10:25 AM

At a recent tribunal with a client who has a visual impairment the Dr on the tribunal stated that the client could not suffer from double vision if she could only see out of one eye. Could anyone say if this would be the case?

Although I work for RNIB I'm not an expert in eye health. But there is some information here http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/9339/9843.html

about double vision in one eye.

If you need more information you could phone RNIB on 0845 766 9999 and ask for the Eye Health Department.
