In determining eligibility, in Texas, it is required to have:

1. A report from a licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist that includes:
   1. visual loss in exact measures of visual field and corrected visual acuity at a distance and at close range in each eye; or
   2. if exact measures cannot be obtained, provides best estimates of the visual loss; and prognosis whenever possible;
2. Eye report must state that the child has:
   1. no vision or to have a visual loss after correction; or
   2. a progressive medical condition that will result in no vision or a visual loss after correction.

The State of Texas Interagency Eye Examination Report form is not required to be used in obtaining information required for eligibility; however, this form is highly recommended as it contains important information that guides the Functional Vision Evaluation, Learning Media Assessment, and Orientation and Mobility Evaluation.
