VA Disability Rating for Vision in one eye 5/200 (DC 6065)

Rating levels

• 100% — One of your eyes sees 5/200, and your other eye also sees 5/200. 5/200 means you see at 5 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 200 feet. Neither eye is lost, but both have very poor vision. Vision is measured with your glasses or contact lenses on (corrected distance vision).
• 90% — One of your eyes sees 5/200, and your other eye sees 10/200, which means you see at 10 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 200 feet. Vision is measured with your glasses or contact lenses on (corrected distance vision).
• 80% — One of your eyes sees 5/200, and your other eye sees 15/200, which means you see at 15 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 200 feet. Vision is measured with your glasses or contact lenses on (corrected distance vision).
• 70% — One of your eyes sees 5/200, and your other eye sees 20/200, which means you see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 200 feet. Vision is measured with your glasses or contact lenses on (corrected distance vision).
• 60% — One of your eyes sees 5/200, and your other eye sees 20/100, which means you see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision sees at 100 feet. Vision is measured with your glasses or contact lenses on (corrected distance vision).
• 50% — You have very poor vision in one eye that can only see at 5 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 200 feet, AND your other eye has moderately impaired vision that can only see at 20 feet what normal vision can see at 70 feet. This means you have significant vision loss in both eyes, with one eye being nearly blind and the other having substantial vision problems that would make daily activities like reading, driving, or recognizing faces quite difficult.
• 40% — You must have vision of 20/50 in your better eye (meaning you can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 50 feet) while your worse eye has very poor vision of 5/200 (you can only see at 5 feet what normal vision sees at 200 feet). This rating applies when one eye is nearly blind but your other eye still has fairly decent vision, though not perfect.
• 30% — You need to have vision of 5/200 (which means you can only see at 5 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 200 feet) in one eye, AND your other eye must have vision of 20/40 (slightly worse than normal vision, meaning you can see at 20 feet what normal vision sees at 40 feet). This rating applies when you have one eye with very poor vision and the other eye with mildly impaired vision.
