Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's eye condition, characterized by blurred vision and twitching of the left eye due to an undiagnosed illness, left eye cataract, status post cataract extraction, and right eye cataract.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's eye condition has not manifested with impairment of visual acuity in either eye, impaired visual fields, or diplopia, which are necessary for a higher rating under the applicable criteria.
