Diagnostic Code 6063 · 38 CFR §4.79
DC 6063 applies when corrected visual acuity is 20/50 in both eyes. This is one of the visual acuity combination codes the VA uses to rate vision loss based on the specific acuity level in each eye. A visual acuity of 20/50 means you need to be 20 feet from something that a person with normal vision could see at 50 feet. Having this level in both eyes produces a 10 percent rating.
| Rating | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 10% | Corrected visual acuity of 20/50 in both eyes. |
Current ophthalmology or optometry examination with best-corrected visual acuity testing using a standardized eye chart. The VA requires testing with the best possible correction (glasses or contacts) unless the correction itself is part of the disability.
No. You file for the underlying eye condition causing vision loss. The VA rater assigns the appropriate combination code based on your measured visual acuity in each eye. These codes are rating tools, not conditions you claim directly.
The VA has specific combination codes for every pairing of visual acuity levels between the two eyes. Your rating is determined by looking up your specific combination in the rating tables.
