Denied
The Board denied the claim of clear and unmistakable error in the March 1992 rating decision that assigned a 30 percent initial disability rating for bilateral keratoconus status post left corneal transplant.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not reflect any significant loss of visual acuity or field of vision, and the initial evaluation correctly applied the DC criteria to the bilateral eye disability.
