Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.
Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7 AM.
In this episode, Leah B., a U.S. Army veteran and physician assistant, discusses who is entitled to VA vision care benefits and how to access them. She explains that if veterans qualify for VA healthcare benefits, they may receive routine eye exams and preventive vision testing, such as glaucoma screenings, through the VA. Additionally, veterans with service-connected disabilities or specific conditions (e.g., blindness, stroke, or traumatic brain injury) may be eligible for advanced vision care, rehabilitation services, and coverage for eyeglasses. Leah emphasizes that veterans can visit VA.gov to find detailed information and contact their local VA Medical Center or prosthetic representative for further assistance.
