The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for angle recession glaucoma, right eye, scarring, visual field defect with amblyopia and open angle glaucoma, left eye; a compensable evaluation for scar, posterior trunk, status post lipoma removal; and an evaluation higher than 10 percent for painful scar, status post lipoma removal.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support the veteran's claims as it demonstrated that his angle recession glaucoma, right eye, scarring, visual field defect with amblyopia and open angle glaucoma, left eye manifested as impaired visual acuity to no worse than 20/200 in the right eye and no worse than 20/20 in the left eye without impairment of visual field or muscle function.
