Monocular Assessement of Better Eye
In applying this table, if the veteran's visual acuity in either eye is such that he or she is only capable of counting fingers or of perceiving the difference between light and darkness with that eye, then the veteran is to be taken as "blind" in the eye so affected.

PART 8.2: OTHER OCULAR IMPAIRMENT

Other Impairment

Table 8.2.1 lists impairment ratings for a variety of ocular conditions. The ratings are based on the presence of symptoms and of inconvenience. Ratings from Table 8.2.1 are not to be combined with ratings from Table 8.1.3 for the same condition.  If the same condition can be rated from both tables, the higher rating is to be chosen.
