Granted
The Board granted an evaluation of 20 percent, but no higher, for chronic angle closure glaucoma, left eye, severe stage and status post laser peripheral iridotomy.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's visual acuity measured 20/100 in the left eye with a centrally located scotoma; these factors warranted a combined evaluation of 20 percent under the General Rating Formula for Diseases of the Eye.
