Missouri decides blindness for Blind Pension, Supplemental Aid to the Blind and blindness-based MO HealthNet through a State Supervising Ophthalmologist, not the local office. The Family Support Division sends the IM-68 to the eye examiner with the appointment. The examiner records visual acuity, visual fields and eye findings, and the ophthalmologist reviews the report and decides.
An ophthalmologist, optometrist or physician skilled in diseases of the eye who accepts the Medicaid rate completes the middle examination section. Family Support Division staff complete the top and bottom.
