A person who is blind lacks visual perception. In California, your blindness is no reason for your employer to discriminate against you. As a CA employee, if you suffer from a recognized disability, it is against federal and CA state law for your employer to discriminate against you. In fact, he must provide you with reasonable accommodations for your blindness and allow you time off for medical appointments. You might even be able to bring in your Seeing Eye dog.

In CA, in order for you to state a cause of action for disability discrimination you must be disabled, regarded as disabled, or have a record of being disabled. Additionally, you must show that:

• Your disability results in physical limitations
• You still perform the essential functions of the job (with or without reasonable accommodations)
• Your employer took an adverse action, such as not hiring, or firing you, on the basis of your disability
