6 ;;A. Review of Medical Records:
7 ;;
8 ;;B. Medical History (Subjective Complaints):
9 ;;
10 ;; Comment on:
11 ;; 1. Pain.
12 ;; 2. Duration and frequency of periods of incapacitation, and rest
13 ;; requirements.
14 ;; 3. Visual symptoms, including distorted or enlarged image, etc.
15 ;; 4. Current ophthalmologic treatment.
16 ;; 5. For malignant neoplasms, state type of treatment and last date.
17 ;; If treatment is current, describe.
18 ;;
19 ;;C. Physical Examination (Objective Findings):
20 ;;
21 ;; Address each of the following, as applicable, and fully describe
22 ;; current findings:
23 ;; 1. Visual Acuity:
24 ;; a. Examine each eye independently and record the refractive
25 ;; information indicated below.
26 ;; b. Use conventional lenses for correction unless the patient
27 ;; has keratoconus, is well adapted to contact lenses and wishes
28 ;; to wear them, and contact lenses result in best corrected
29 ;; visual acuity.
30 ;; c. Use Snellen's test type or its equivalent.
31 ;; d. Carry out an examination with the pupils dilated unless
32 ;; contraindicated, and record the ophthalmic findings.
33 ;; e. For visual acuity worse than 5/200 in either or both eyes,
34 ;; report the distance in feet/inches (or meters/centimeters)
35 ;; from the face at which the veteran can count fingers/detect
36 ;; hand motion/read the largest line on the chart. If the
37 ;; veteran cannot detect hand motion or count fingers at any
38 ;; distance, state whether he or she has light perception.
39 ;; f. If keratoconus is present, state whether contact lenses
40 ;; are required or adequate correction is possible by other means.

58 ;; 2. Diplopia:
59 ;; a. Perform the measurement of muscle function using a
60 ;; Goldmann Perimeter Chart and chart the areas in which diplopia
61 ;; exists. Include the chart as part of the examination report
62 ;; to be sent to the regional office.
63 ;; b. If diplopia is present, state whether it is constant or
64 ;; intermittent, whether it is present at all distances or only
65 ;; for near or distant vision, and whether it is correctable by
66 ;; use of lenses or prisms.
67 ;; c. If diplopia is constant and not correctable, indicate which
68 ;; of the sectors of the visual field are affected:
69 ;; central 20 degrees;
70 ;; 21 to 30 degrees: Upward; Downward; Right Lateral; Left Lateral
71 ;; 31 to 40 degrees: Upward; Downward; Right Lateral; Left Lateral
72 ;;
73 ;; On the Goldmann perimeter chart, chart the actual areas of all
74 ;; diplopia, even when the diplopia is not within the sectors listed
75 ;; above. Provide the Goldmann perimeter chart with your examination
76 ;; report.
77 ;;
78 ;;
79 ;; 3. Visual Field Deficit:
80 ;; a. Chart any visual field defect using a Goldmann Perimeter
81 ;; Chart and include the chart as part of the examination report
82 ;; to be sent to the regional office.
83 ;; b. For an aphakic eye which cannot be fitted with contact
84 ;; lenses or intra-ocular implant, use the IV/4e test object.
85 ;; For all other cases, use the III/4e test object.
86 ;; c. If the examiner determines that charting with other test
87 ;; objects is indicated, those test results should be reported
88 ;; on a separate chart. All charts, along with an explanation
89 ;; of the need for using a different test object and an
90 ;; explanation of any discrepancies in results, should be
91 ;; included as part of the examination report.
92 ;; d. All scotomas should be plotted carefully in order to
93 ;; allow measurements to be made for adjustments in the
94 ;; calculation of visual field defects.
95 ;;
96 ;; 4. Details of eye disease or injury (including eyebrows,
97 ;; eyelashes, eyelids) other than loss of visual acuity, diplopia,
98 ;; or visual field defect:
99 ;;
100 ;;D. Diagnostic and Clinical Tests: (Other than for visual acuity,
101 ;; diplopia, and visual fields, as described above.)
102 ;;
103 ;; 1. Include results of all diagnostic and clinical tests
104 ;; conducted in the examination report.
105 ;;
106 ;;E. Diagnosis:
