A member asked:
Can wearing glasses because of poor eyesight count as sensory disability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not in my opinion. If the degree of eyesight loss is severe and not correctable with glasses then a disability exists but otherwise this is not considered a disability which disrupts the performance of everyday activities and occupational duties.
