• Nationally, among persons age 21 to 64 who are visually impaired, defined as any difficulty or inability to see words and letters even when wearing glasses or contact lenses, 55.3% are employed; among individuals unable to see words and letters, this figure decreases to 48% (Steinmetz, 2006). This proportion is significantly lower than the approximately 88.2% of persons without any disability in this age group who are employed.
