How Employers Should Treat Blind And Visually Impaired People

- Employers may not ask applicants about their vision or treatment
- Applicants are not required to disclose visual impairments
- After an employer has offered a job to an applicant, and the applicant discloses their vision impairment, the employer may then ask the applicant about their vision limitations and what accommodations they need
- An employer may only ask an employee about their vision impairment when it knows about the impairment, observes performance issues, and believes those issues are related to the visual impairment
- Employers must keep confidential any medical information it discovers about an applicant or employee
