According to Law 14.126, introduced in 2021, people who have monocular vision, i.e. who see with only one eye, have the same rights as people with disabilities. The law is valid for all those who have vision equal to or less than 20% in one eye.
The person with monocular vision loses depth perception and peripheral vision. With this, those who see with only one eye have the right to retirement, as these changes in vision can cause accidents and interfere with the performance of work.

For a long time, the INSS did not administratively recognize monocular blindness as a disability. However, after much discussion, it was only in 2021 that Law 14,126 was finally introduced.
This law aims to guarantee the person with monocular vision rights that they did not have before and ensure them, as there is something legal behind it, defending the disabled person. To get retirement, just prove the condition through examinations with an ophthalmologist. In addition, it is important to pay attention to age and contribution time.
A person with monocular vision will enjoy the same rights as a person with a disability. Thus, to receive the benefits of a retirement due to disability, it is necessary that the vision is compromised to such an extent that it leaves the person in conditions of inequality in relation to others.
There are two ways to get the retirement of the disabled person, one by age and the other by contribution time. Retirement by age is 60 years for men, with 15 years of contribution, and 55 years for women with the same contribution time. Retirement based on contribution time varies according to the degree of disability.
