Title: ●Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Visual Disorders (3696A) 
Abstract: Sections 2.00 and 102.00, Special Senses and Speech, of appendix 1 to subpart P of our regulations describe visual, hearing, and speech disorders that we consider severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, or that cause marked and severe functional limitations for a child claiming Supplemental Security Income payments under title XVI. We are proposing to revise the criteria in the sections we use to evaluate visual disorders to ensure that medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with the latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment.
