The Veteran's service-connected moderate proliferative diabetic retinopathy with pseudophakia and primary open angle glaucoma cause permanent impairment of vision of both eyes, entitling him to an allowance for an automobile or other conveyance, and adaptive equipment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected eye disorders resulted in legal blindness, meeting the criteria for entitlement to automobile and/or specially adapted equipment under 38 C.F.R. § 3.808.
