Absence of the eye's natural lens or displacement of the lens from its normal position.
Because the rating is built on measured visual impairment, the most important evidence is a complete eye examination that records your best-corrected visual acuity and any visual field loss in the affected eye or eyes. Records confirming the diagnosis — such as surgical notes, operative reports, or imaging showing an absent or dislocated lens — establish that diagnostic code 6029 applies rather than a plain vision code. If your vision fluctuates or worsens over time, updated eye examination findings help show the current level of impairment. Statements from you or people who know you about how reduced vision affects your work, reading, driving, or daily tasks can support the overall picture of functional loss that the measured acuity reflects.
Conditions that are often caused or made worse by this one. If you have any of these, they may be claimable as secondary service connection.
