Conditions of the Organs of Special Sense  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER" Overview  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  In this SectionThis section contains the following topics: TopicTopic NameSee Page10General Information About Eye Conditions4-B-211Specific Eye Conditions4-B-612Hearing Impairment4-B-1013Exhibit 1: Examples of Rating Decisions for Diplopia4-B-22 10. General Information About Eye Conditions  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains general information about eye conditions, including measuring field of vision citing disease or injury in the diagnosis excluding congenital or developmental defects considering service connection for refractive errors reconciling inconsistent findings with refractive error establishing service connection for unusual developments, and considering visual acuity in a non-service-connected (NSC) eye. Change DateAugust 3, 2011 PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  a. Measuring Field of VisionIn all claims, when the extent of the field of vision is measured by the Goldmann Bowl perimeter and not a tangent screen, employ the Target III/4e in the kinetic mode. The examiner should record perimeter type, illuminating light level, test object size, color, and test distance with testing done, unseen to seen, with at least 16 meridians, 22-1/2 degrees apart, charted for each eye. Notes: If the above guidelines are adhered to, the results equate with those found by the methods of testing required in HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_76.DOC"38 CFR 4.76. The examining medical facility may use an automated perimetric device, such as the Humphrey Model 750 or the Octopus Model 101, to determine visual field loss as long as the results are reported on a standard Goldmann chart. Reference: See TOOLS in RBA2000 for a visual field calculator that may be used to calculate the field of vision. PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  b. Citing Disease or Injury in DiagnosisShow the actual disease, injury, or other basic condition as the diagnosis, rather than a mere citation of impaired visual acuity, field of vision, or motor efficiency. Note: Actual pathology, other than refractive error, is required to support impairment of visual acuity. Impaired field of vision and impaired motor field function must be supported by actual appropriate pathology.Continued on next page styleref "Map Title"10. General Information About Eye Conditions, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  c. Excluding Congenital or Developmental Defects Defects of form or structure of the eye that are of congenital or developmental origin may not be considered as disabilities or SC on the basis of incurrence or aggravation beyond natural progress during service. The fact that a Veteran was supplied with glasses for correcting refractive error from any of the eye defects named above is not, in itself, considered indicative of aggravation by service that would warrant compensation. Exception: Malignant or pernicious myopia may be considered SC. PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  d. Considering Service Connection for Refractive ErrorsRefractive errors are due to anomalies in the shape and conformation of the eye structures, and generally of congenital or developmental origin. Examples: Astigmatism, myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia. The effect of uncomplicated refractive errors must be excluded in considering impairment of vision from the standpoint of service connection and evaluation. Exception: Myopia may progress rapidly during the periods of service and lead to destructive changes, such as changes in the choroid retinal hemorrhage, and retinal detachment. Notes: Children are usually hyperopic at birth and subsequently become less so, or they become emmetropic, or even myopic. In adults, refractive errors are generally stationary or change slowly until the stage of presbyopia, also a developmental condition. Reference: For more information on considering service connection for refractive error of the eye, see HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_303.DOC"38 CFR 3.303(c).Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 10. General Information About Eye Conditions, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  e. Reconciling Inconsistent Findings with Refractive ErrorWhen dealing with refractive error only, if the best corrected vision on any examination by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is better than prior determinations, assume these prior determinations to be erroneous or at least as not representing best correction. PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  f. Establishing Service Connection for Unusual Developments Long-established policy permits establishment of service connection for such unusual developments as choroidal degeneration, retinal hemorrhage or detachment, or rapid increase of myopia producing uncorrectable impairment of vision. Consider refractive error service-connected (SC) only under these unusual circumstances and when combined with uncorrectable residual visual impairment. Note: Irregular astigmatism may be due to corneal inflammation due to injury or operation.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 10. General Information About Eye Conditions, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  g. Considering Visual Acuity in an NSC EyeWhen visual impairment of only one eye is SC, either directly or by aggravation, consider the visual acuity of the nonservice-connected (NSC) eye to be 20/40, subject to the provisions of HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_383.DOC"38 CFR 3.383(a). Example 1 (Direct incurrence) Situation: Pre-service, a Veteran had visual acuity of 20/70 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye, with a history of bilateral inactive chorioretinitis. The Veteran developed a cataract in the left eye in service. Post-service, visual acuity was 20/70 in the right eye and 10/200 in the left eye. At the time of the rating determination, the left eye cataract was pre-operative. Result: The SC evaluation is 30 percent for the left eye cataract that was incurred in service, based on visual acuity of 10/200. Since the right eye is NSC, it is considered to have normal vision (20/40) for the purposes of this calculation. Example 2 (Aggravation) Situation: Pre-service, a Veteran had visual acuity of 20/50 in each eye due to scarring from an old injury. The Veterans left eye was re-injured in combat. Post-service, visual acuity was 20/50 in the right eye and 10/200 in the left eye. Result: The SC evaluation is 20 percent for left eye aggravation (30 percent for 10/200 (current left eye) minus 10 percent for 20/50 (left eye on entrance)). Since the Veterans right eye is NSC, it is considered to have normal vision (20/40) for the purposes of this calculation.

Specific Eye Conditions  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information on specific eye conditions, including considering amblyopia considering impairments of both visual acuity and visual field considering glaucoma considering diplopia, and evaluating diplopia together with impairment of visual acuity or visual field. Change DateAugust 3, 2011 PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  a. Considering AmblyopiaAscertain the etiology of amblyopia in each individual case since a diagnosis may refer to either developmental or acquired causes of lost visual acuity. PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  b. Considering Impairments of Both Visual Acuity and Visual FieldWhen there are impairments of both visual acuity and fields of vision determine for each eye the percentage evaluation for visual acuity and for visual field loss (expressed as a level of visual acuity), and combine the evaluations under HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_25.DOC"38 CFR 4.25. The combined evaluation for visual impairment can then be combined with any other disabilities that are present. Example Situation: Corrected visual acuity is 20/40 in the right eye and 20/70 in the left eye, warranting a 10 percent evaluation. Visual field loss in right eye is remaining field 38 degrees (equivalent to visual acuity 20/70) and loss in left eye is remaining field 28 degrees (equivalent to visual acuity 20/100), warranting a 30 percent evaluation. Result: Under HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_25.DOC"38 CFR 4.25, combine the 30-percent evaluation for visual field loss with the 10-percent evaluation for visual acuity, which results in a 40-percent combined evaluation for bilateral visual impairment.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 11. Specific Eye Conditions, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  c. Considering Glaucoma Glaucoma is recognized as an organic disease of the nervous system and is subject to presumptive service connection under HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_309.DOC"38 CFR 3.309(a). Consider glaucoma, manifested to a compensable degree within one year of separation from an entitling period of service, to be SC on a presumptive basis unless there is affirmative evidence to the contrary, or evidence that a recognized cause of the condition was incurred between the date of separation from service and the onset of the disability (that is, evidence of intercurrent cause).Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 11. Specific Eye Conditions, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  d. Considering DiplopiaA diagnosis of diplopia that reflects the disease or injury that is the cause of the diplopia must be of record. When the affected field with diplopia extends beyond more than one quadrant or range of degrees, evaluate diplopia based on the quadrant and degree range that provides the higher (or highest) evaluation. When diplopia exists in two separate areas of the same eye, increase the equivalent visual acuity under diagnostic code 6090 to the next poorer level of visual acuity, but not to exceed 5/200. Example Situation: The Veteran has an SC evaluation for diplopia. Diplopia in both eyes is in the 31 to 40 degree range of upward vision and in the 31 to 40 degree range of lateral vision. The diplopia in the upward vision is equivalent to visual acuity of 20/40, while the diplopia in the lateral vision is equivalent to visual acuity of 20/70. Result: Based on HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_78.DOC"38 CFR 4.78(b)(2) and (3), the overall equivalent visual acuity for diplopia is 20/100, which is one step poorer than the diplopia (in this case, the lateral) that provides the higher evaluation. The overall evaluation for diplopia is, therefore, 10 percent, based on visual acuity of 20/100 for one eye and 20/40 for the other eye (diplopia is only taken into consideration for one eye). Note: Diplopia that is occasional or that is correctable with corrective lenses is evaluated at zero percent.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 11. Specific Eye Conditions, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  e. Evaluating Diplopia With Impairment of Visual Acuity or Loss of Visual FieldThe table below shows the steps to take when assigning an evaluation to visual impairment when a claimant has both diplopia, and a ratable impairment of visual acuity or loss of visual field in either eye.  StepAction1Assign a level of visual acuity for diplopia for only one eye under diagnostic code (DC) 6090.2 If the visual acuity level assignable for diplopia is Then assign a level of corrected visual acuity for the poorer eye (or affected eye, if only one is SC) that is 20/70 or 20/100 one step poorer than it would otherwise warrant, not to exceed 5/200. 20/200 or 15/200 two steps poorer than it would otherwise warrant, not to exceed 5/200. 5/200 three steps poorer than it would otherwise warrant, not to exceed 5/200. 3Determine the evaluation for visual impairment under DC 6065 or 6066 by using the adjusted visual acuity of the poorer eye (or affected eye, if only one is SC), and corrected visual acuity for the better eye (or visual acuity of 20/40 for the other eye, if only one eye is service-connected).

Hearing Impairment  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="OTHER"  IntroductionThis topic contains information about hearing impairment, including determining impaired hearing as a disability reviewing claims for hearing loss and/or tinnitus considering the Duty Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Noise Exposure Listing requesting audiometric examinations and medical opinions requesting medical opinions to determine causation of tinnitus considering medical opinions in cases involving tinnitus handling changed criteria or testing methods applying revised hearing loss tables reviewing for functional disturbances granting service connection for functional hearing impairment considering service connection for development of subsequent ear infection determining the need for a reexamination compensation payable for paired organs under 38 CFR 3.383, and using the hearing loss calculator. Change DateJune 5, 2012 PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  a. Determining Impaired Hearing as a DisabilityPer HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_385.DOC"38 CFR 3.385, impaired hearing is considered a disability for VA purposes when the auditory threshold in any of the frequencies 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 Hertz is 40 decibels or greater the auditory thresholds for at least three of the frequencies 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, or 4000 Hertz are 26 decibels or greater, or speech recognition scores using the Maryland CNC Test are less than 94 percent. Notes: Sensorineural hearing loss is considered an organic disease of the nervous system and is subject to presumptive service connection under HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_309.DOC"38 CFR 3.309(a). Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 12. Hearing Impairment, Continued  STYLEREF "Block Label" a. Determining Impaired Hearing as a Disability (continued)Be careful in determining whether older audiometry results show a disability under  HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKB/PART3/S3_385.DOC" 38 CFR 3.385. Results today may indicate a different level of impairment than in the past because of changed equipment standards. Audiometry results from before 1969 may have been in American Standards Association (ASA) units. Current testing will be to standards set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) /American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Test results should indicate the standard for the audiometry. Important: If you have older results that are in ASA units or the results date to a time when a ASA units may have been used, and you cannot determine what standard was used to obtain the readings, an audiologist opinion will be needed to interpret the results and convert any ASA test results to ISO/ANSI units. Reference: For more information on: audiology standards, VA examinations and use of hearing loss tables, see HYPERLINK "imi-internal:M21-1MRIII.iv.4.B.12.h"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iv, 4.B.12.h. obtaining medical opinions, see  HYPERLINK "imi-internal:M21-1MRIII.iv.3.A.9" M21-1MR, Part III.Subpart iv.3.A.9.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 12. Hearing Impairment, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  b. Reviewing Claims for Hearing Loss and/or TinnitusReview each claim for hearing loss and/or tinnitus for sufficient evidence of a current audiological disability (including lay evidence), and evidence documenting hearing loss and/or tinnitus in service, or an in-service event, injury, disease, or symptoms of a disease potentially related to an audiological disability. If there is no documented evidence of an in-service disease, injury, or event with which the claimed condition could be associated, consider the Duty Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Noise Exposure Listing to help determine the probability of the Veterans exposure to hazardous noise in service. Veterans are not expected to be medical experts; therefore, claims must be read sympathetically. A common example of sympathetically reading claims is when a Veteran files a claim for hearing loss and tinnitus is diagnosed at the examination. If the examiner states that tinnitus is related to noise exposure during the Veterans military service or hearing loss of the same etiology, the date of claim (for purposes of determining the effective date) will be the same as the date of claim for the hearing loss, if service connection is otherwise warranted. Note: If tinnitus is not specifically claimed, do not address tinnitus in the rating decision unless service connection can be granted. Reference: For more information on considering the Duty MOS Noise Exposure Listing, see HYPERLINK "imi-internal:M21-1MRIII.iv.4.B.12.c"M21-1MR, Part III, Subpart iv, 4.B.12.c. Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 12. Hearing Impairment, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  c. Considering the Duty MOS Noise Exposure ListingThe Duty MOS Noise Exposure Listing, which has been reviewed and endorsed by each branch of service, is available at  HYPERLINK "http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/rating/docs/dutymosnoise.xls" http://vbaw.vba.va.gov/bl/21/rating/docs/dutymosnoise.xls Based on the Veterans records, review each duty MOS, Air Force Specialty Code, rating, or duty assignment documented on the Duty MOS Noise Exposure Listing to determine the probability of exposure to hazardous noise. If the duty position is shown to have a Highly Probable or Moderate probability of hazardous noise exposure, concede exposure to hazardous noise for the purposes of establishing the in-service event. Note: The Duty MOS Noise Exposure Listing is not an exclusive means of establishing a Veterans in-service noise exposure. Evaluate claims for service connection for hearing loss in light of the circumstances of the Veterans service and all available evidence, including treatment records and examination results. Reference: For more information on considering the circumstances of the Veterans service, see  HYPERLINK "http://law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode38/usc_sec_38_00001154----000-.html" 38 U.S.C. 1154(a) and (b).Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 12. Hearing Impairment, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  d. Requesting Audiometric Examinations and Medical Opinions Request an audiometric examination whenever service connection for hearing loss and/or tinnitus is at issue there is sufficient evidence of a current audiological disability, and there is documented evidence of hearing loss in service, or an event, injury, disease, or symptoms in service of a disease potentially related to an audiological disability, or exposure to hazardous in-service noise is conceded based on the Duty MOS Noise Exposure Listing or by other means. If there is sufficient evidence of a current disability, request a medical opinion with the audiometric examination to determine the relationship between current audiological disability and an event, injury, disease, or symptoms in service potentially related to an audiological disability, or exposure to hazardous in-service noise. Notes: If VA concedes in-service noise exposure, include the level of probability conceded, such as highly probable or moderate, in the information provided to the examiner in the body of the examination request. If VA doesnt concede in-service noise exposure, but an examination and opinion request are otherwise warranted (based on hearing loss claimed related to an event, injury, disease, or symptoms in service potentially related to an audiological disability, or other basis), provide the probable level of exposure to hazardous noise associated with the Veterans documented duty position in the examination request remarks. In Noise and Military Service: Implications for Hearing Loss and Tinnitus (2006), the National Academy of Sciences reported that a delay of many years in the onset of noise-induced hearing loss following an earlier noise exposure is extremely unlikely. Request a medical opinion regarding the significance of prior audiological findings if the evidence of record is unclear on any point. Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 12. Hearing Impairment, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  e. Requesting Medical Opinions to Determine Causation of Tinnitus A medical opinion regarding possible causation of tinnitus is not required to establish service connection if service treatment records (STRs) show a complaint of tinnitus, and the Veteran claims service connection for tinnitus, and has current complaints of tinnitus. If ...Then ...the STRs contain no record of tinnitus but VA can otherwise concede noise exposure or the occurrence of an event, injury, or illness in service, and there is a complaint or claim of tinnitusask the audiologist to offer an opinion, if it is within the scope of his/her practice, about an association of tinnitus to hearing loss, or an event, injury, or illness in service.  Note: Only ask the audiologist to offer an opinion about the association to hearing loss if hearing loss is also specifically claimed. Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 12. Hearing Impairment, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  f. Considering Medical Opinions in Cases Involving Tinnitus Use the table below when considering an examiners medical opinion in a case involving tinnitus. If ...Then ...the examiner states tinnitus is a symptom of hearing lossevaluate tinnitus separately under diagnostic code 6260 if the hearing loss is determined to be SC and establish service connection for tinnitus on a direct, not secondary, basis. Note: If the hearing loss is service connected, and the tinnitus is a symptom of the hearing loss, we concede that the hearing loss and tinnitus result from the same etiology. Therefore, service connection is warranted for tinnitus on a direct basis in these cases. the examiner states tinnitus is not related to hearing loss, or is unable to determine the etiology within reasonable certainty, or there is no hearing lossdetermine, based on all the evidence of record, whether or not the etiology of tinnitus requires further assessment by one of more additional examinations. Note: The type and need for any additional examination(s) will depend on the Veterans claim as to the cause of tinnitus. Examples: If the Veteran claims tinnitus due to hearing loss, and the examiner says they are not related, no further action is needed. If Veteran claims tinnitus due to another condition (such as head injury, hypertension, etc., which would be outside the scope of the audiologist), it might be appropriate to request a general medical, ears/nose/throat (ENT), or other examination, and an opinion as to the causation of tinnitus.

Considering Medical Opinions in Cases Involving Tinnitus (continued) If ...Then ...the examiner states that tinnitus is related to noise exposure or an event, injury, or illness in serviceevaluate all the evidence of record determine if the examiners opinion is consistent with the evidence, and If Then the examiners opinion is consistent with the evidence or record grant service connection on a direct basis. the examiners opinion is not consistent with the evidence of record, and the evidence VA provided to the examiner was incorrect or insufficient return the exam for clarification and provide the examiner with all necessary information. Note: When the corrected exam is received, consider the opinion together with all other evidence of record to determine if service connection is warranted. the examiners opinion is not consistent with the evidence of record, and the information the Veteran provided to the examiner was also inconsistent with the record consider the opinion together with all other evidence of record to determine whether service connection is warranted.

Applying Revised Hearing Loss TablesVeterans Health Administration (VHA) ceased converting audiology examinations to American Standards Association (ASA) standards after December 31, 1975. Use the table below to apply revised hearing loss tables to claims of hearing loss. If the examination results are dated Then apply before January 1, 1976the rating tables in effect prior to September 9, 1975.from January 1, 1976, through December 17, 1987evaluation tables VI and VII. Note: The evaluations used ISO/ANSI, W-22 word discrimination and speech reception threshold standards exclusively.after December 18, 1987evaluation tables VI and VIa. Note: Examiners use the speech discrimination or recognition ability of Maryland CNC with the results of the puretone auditory test. PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  i. Reviewing for Functional DisturbancesIf, following an examination at an audiology clinic, a drastic reduction in rating for a hearing impairment is in order, thoroughly review the claims folder for evidence of a psychiatric disease entity, which might be manifested in part by a nonorganic hearing impairment.Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 12. Hearing Impairment, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  j. Granting Service Connection for Functional Hearing ImpairmentDetermine entitlement to service connection for a psychiatric disability, manifested in part by a hearing impairment, by the usual regulations pertaining to the grant of service connection. It is anticipated the psychiatric disorder will be identifiable by manifestations other than those relating to hearing complaints alone. Base the rating either on the organic hearing loss or the psychiatric disorder, but not both in combination. Reference: For more information on evaluating psychiatric disorders, see  HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_126.DOC" 38 CFR 4.126. PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PROCEDURE"  k. Considering Service Connection for Development of Subsequent Ear InfectionIf the disease of one ear, such as chronic catarrhal otitis media or otosclerosis, is held as the result of service, the subsequent development of similar pathology in the other ear must be held due to the same cause if the time element is not manifestly excessive, a few years at most, and there has been no intercurrent infection to cause the additional disability. Note: If there is continuous SC infection of the upper respiratory tract, the time cited for the purpose of service connecting infection of the second ear should be extended indefinitely.

Exhibit 1: Examples of Rating Decisions for Diplopia IntroductionThis exhibit contains three examples of rating decisions for diplopia. Change DateAugust 3, 2011 PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  a. Example 1Situation: The Veteran filed an original claim for bilateral impairment of visual acuity on June 1, 2009. VA examination reveals the best distant vision obtainable after correction is 20/200 (6/60) in the right eye and 20/70 (6/21) in the left eye. Diplopia secondary to thyroid myopathy has been diagnosed and is within 24 degrees in the upward quadrant. Diplopia within 24 degrees in the upward quadrant is ratable as 20/70 (6/21) under DC 6090. Rationale: Because the evaluation for diplopia is 20/70, evaluate visual acuity in the poorer eye (right) as 15/200 per  HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_78.DOC" 38 CFR 4.78, one step poorer than it would otherwise warrant.  Coded Conclusion:1. SC (VE INC)6066Visual impairment secondary to thyroid myopathy, bilateral, with diplopia40% from 06/01/2009 PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  b. Example 2Situation: The same facts as in Example 1, except the diplopia exists within 24 degrees in the downward quadrant. Diplopia within 24 degrees in the downward quadrant is ratable as 15/200 (4.5/60) under DC 6090. Rationale: Because the evaluation for diplopia is 15/200, evaluate visual acuity in the poorer eye (right) as 10/200 per  HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_78.DOC" 38 CFR 4.78, two steps poorer than it would otherwise warrant.  Coded Conclusion:1. SC (VE INC)6066Visual impairment secondary to thyroid myopathy, bilateral, with diplopia50% from 06/01/2009Continued on next page  STYLEREF "Map Title" 13. Exhibit 1: Examples of Rating Decisions for Diplopia, Continued  PRIVATE INFOTYPE="PRINCIPLE"  c. Example 3Situation: The Veteran is service connected for impairment of the visual field in the right eye secondary to trauma. The average contraction of the visual field is to 50 degrees, and is ratable equivalent to 20/50 (6/15) at 10 percent. Diplopia has been diagnosed secondary to trauma and exists within 20 degrees in the central area. Diplopia within 20 degrees in the central area is ratable as 5/200 (1.5/60). Rationale: Since the evaluation for diplopia is 5/200, evaluate the visual field impairment in the SC eye (right) as 20/200 per  HYPERLINK "http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/docs/regs/38CFR/BOOKC/PART4/S4_78.DOC" 38 CFR 4.78, three steps poorer than it would otherwise warrant. Result: Assign a 20-percent evaluation under diagnostic code 6090-6066 for diplopia with impairment of the visual field, right eye. Do not assign a separate 10 percent evaluation for contraction of the visual field. Coded Conclusion:1.
