You are 42 year old and visually challenged that has different part under PWD - Person With Disability and details are following that are applied in various government jobs and assessments :

Blindness refers to condition where a person suffers from any one of the following conditions namely

(1) Total Absence of Sight
(2) Visually acuity not exceeding 6/60 or 20/200 (snellen) in the better eye with correcting lenses.
(3) Limitation of the field of vision subtending in angle of 20 degrees or worse.

Low vision means a person with impairment of visual functioning even after treatment of standard refractive connection but who uses or is potentially capable of using vision for the planning of execution of the task with appropriate assistive device.

As per the persons with disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act 1995, low vision aids will be permitted to candidates with visual impairment, and such candidates will be eligible for extra time if capable.

Now you can see description of visually challenged candidates that they gets the advantage of the Act 1995 mentioned in the Constitution of India so you do not worry about your age and visually impairment because Indian government has provided enough rights and equality to everyone so you will also be profited with numerous facilities of the government

Upper Age Relaxation for Visually Impaired candidates in government jobs :

As you know that your visually impairment part is under the PWD category so you will be considered eligible to claim for upper age relaxation while applying for different government jobs and recruitment exams and maximum limit of upper age relaxation for PWD-PH candidates is 10 years means you can get upto 10 years of upper age relaxation in various jobs of government organized by central or state government of India and this is only for PWD - PH candidates but there is one more advantage that is following

This upper age relaxation is also added in with the upper age relaxation of reserved categories provided by the government as per norms means if you belongs to OBC category then generally you will be allowed to get 3 years of upper age relaxation after crossing maximum age limit of the recruitment process and if you are in SC or ST or Ex-Servicemen category then you will get relaxation of upto 5 years in government jobs so this relaxation of upper age will be added with PWD relaxation that is following as :

For OBC - Other Backward Classes - 3 years of OBC + 10 years of PWD = 13 years

For SC/ST/ESM - 5 years as per rules + 10 years of PWD category = 15 years

So this is the only better advantage for you but if you comes under General then only for upto 10 years

Basically maximum age limit of various UPSC exams is - 30 years - Indian Civil Service, Indian Forest Service, Indian Engineering Service etc. and if general category candidate claim for upper age relaxation under PWD quota then he/she will be allowed only till 40 years of age to appear for examination but if a SC or ST category aspirant claims for relaxation in upper age through both reserved category and PWD quota then he/she will be allowed to appear till 45 years of age in examination and OBC candidate for 13 years as per rules mentioned

You have not mentioned your category so we are sorry to say that we can not help you too much in this situation but may give you some right ways and advice to get a good government job. If you belongs to OBC or SC or ST or ESM category then you can prepare for Indian Civil Service Examination but if not then you can apply for following mentioned examination
