Vision and ocular health are critical to daily life, and service-related injuries or conditions affecting the eyes can significantly impact a veteran’s quality of life. Eye conditions can stem from trauma, diseases, or exposure to harmful substances during service. The VA compensates veterans for visual impairments and other ocular conditions based on the severity of symptoms, functional limitations, and the degree of vision loss. Evaluations consider both central visual acuity and peripheral vision, as well as associated symptoms such as pain, sensitivity, or disfigurement. Accurate medical evidence, including visual field tests and ophthalmologist reports, is crucial for proper assessment and compensation.
