Good luck!
Depending on the job, know what accessible technologies or options are available to you. It does not always have to be technological. I had a client who was in danger of losing his job (line cook) because he could not read the orders coming in, and the restaurant didn't want to implement an expensive electronic POS system.
Instead of using a pencil on the order pads, they switched chef to felt tip pens. Was strong enough contrast for him to read and he was able to keep his job. The cost was only a few bucks, compared to the POS that would have been thousands.
For example, if the job entails you reading small texts, explain how you can use a magnifying glass or the camera in you phone to enlarge text/increase contrast.

I was nervous when I interviewed for my job now as an ophthalmology technician. What I found worked for me was being upfront. I told them, I cant see super well and I cant hear well but I have adapted ways to minimize its affect on my working capabilities. Now all I hear is everyone is happy with how well I have caught on and how well im performing despite my disabilities.

Good luck! Be yourself, be confident and be open about what you might need to get the job done.

At the end of the day they legally cannot reject you because of your visual impairment and if they do you can technically sue them if you’re up for it give us an update if they hire you or not and how it is going high I have also been thinking of applying at target when I turn 16
