If your left eye has 6/36 vision and your right eye has 6/6 (which is normal), then you may not get a PwD certificate.

According to the government rules, to get a PwD (Persons with Disabilities) certificate for eye problems, both eyes should have serious vision loss. If one eye is normal and only the other eye has low vision, you are usually not considered disabled.

To get a PwD certificate, a person must have 40% or more disability. This usually means both eyes should have very low vision or blindness.

But to be 100% sure, you should visit a government hospital or district medical board. They will check your eye condition and tell you if you are eligible for the certificate.

To get a PwD (Persons with Disabilities) certificate based on visual impairment, your condition must meet specific disability percentage criteria.

In your case:

  • Right eye: 6/6 – Normal vision

  • Left eye: 6/36 – Moderate visual impairment

Eligibility for a PwD certificate (for visual disability) generally requires:

  • Low vision or blindness in both eyes or

  • Visual impairment resulting in 40% or more disability

Since your one eye has perfect vision, and the other has reduced vision (6/36), your overall disability percentage is likely below 40%, which usually does not qualify for a PwD certificate under most government norms.

However, the exact eligibility depends on a medical board assessment following the latest Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (RPwD), 2016 norms. You should visit a government hospital or district medical board to undergo evaluation for an official percentage.
