Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for pinguecula as there was no evidence of scar or disfigurement with one characteristic of disfigurement.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 VA examination found no scarring or disfigurement attributable to any eye condition, and there is no medical evidence linking the Veteran's visual constriction to pinguecula.
