“The ALJ’s conclusion that Kepple is not disabled is supported by the opinion of the medical expert, as well as two ophthalmologists. In addition, the fact that Kepple is able to drive a car, watch television, and take care of three small children belies his argument that his vision is so significantly impaired as to prevent him from working. Furthermore, the vocational expert identified a number of jobs in the national economy that a person with Kepple’s medical restrictions could hold. Kepple may disagree with the ALJ’s findings, but they are ‘supported by substantial evidence’ and will be upheld.”
