Diagnostic Code 6067 · 38 CFR §4.79
DC 6067 applies when corrected visual acuity is 20/100 in both eyes. At this level, faces become difficult to recognize beyond a few feet, reading requires large print or magnification, and most occupational tasks requiring visual detail become extremely challenging. This substantial bilateral vision loss rates at 50 percent.

|---|---|
| 50% | Corrected visual acuity of 20/100 in both eyes. |
Best-corrected visual acuity testing in each eye, documentation of the service-connected cause, records of magnification aids or assistive devices used, and evidence of occupational limitations.
No. Legal blindness is defined as 20/200 or worse in the better eye with best correction. However, 20/100 bilateral is severely disabling and significantly limits employment options.
