I have my folder of medical records from before everything went electronic. Since then I've been getting notes from the clinics upon visits and have a lot of those as well. Now as to the C file though I'm thinking I have all of those records I'll just request it anyway just to see. What's the easiest way to obtain that? For all 3 conditions most recent that I got denied for i did have a Nexus letter done but I really feel some things I sent forward for the supplemental review was overlooked so I will send up again supplemental. One of them I sent up higher level because there was no mention of the Nexus my shoulder surgeon doc wrote. I explained all of that in a letter to them that I uploaded with the 20-0996

yes they denied it because they said there was no link or event that showed that something caused or contributed to it. Well I am working on sending it back supplemental because they overlooked some documents that i sent. I am also getting my surgeon to do another dbq and another nexus in support for especially the UV ray sunlight. I'm confident that it was at the least aggravated by military service if not caused by it. You know how many years of standing in formation and through change of command ceremonies to which you could not wear sunglasses in formation? Along with when I did start wearing the rigid contacts that was medically necessary to see clearly, I was in dusty conditions often and that just does not mix with wearing contacts. Eye protection outside of formation still would allow for dirt, dust to get in the nooks and crannies between the sides top bottom of the shades

I feel your pain brother. I will copy and paste my situation. Also I have no family history of keratoconus but i did wear eye glasses since I was a child. When i was diagnosed, glasses no longer correct my vision. Hello I need to get service connected. I was active from 94-98 and the only thing in my medical records that I see that might possibly work is an eye infection on the eye examination form on duty. I can't even remember how serious it was because I don't see any follow up paperwork in my files. There's another time when I wrote in the notes that I sometimes had to squint and that my left eye was weaker and get lazy sometimes. Other than that I don't see anything. I wore glasses entering AD up until 2003 when I was diagnosed by a private doctor for having keratoconus. At that time I was in the reserves. My reserve years were from 98-2018 and i had one episode where i developed a stye while on a road march. An LOD was started but never finished. I have been fighting it since I first turned a claim around late 2013. I did a few reconsiderations and then I believe it was 2017 when I reopened and have done a reconsideration and then most recent a supplemental review that was denied August 19th. I need to figure out how to tie it in to an even in service. I had a corneal transplant in 2015 also and the surgeon wrote me a Nexus letter of opinion trying to tie it in to that road march in which I developed a stye and went to the TMC. I have her now doing another DBQ and I'm going to send it back up supplemental again. I really was hoping to find something else in my records eye related that might can help. Any help would be appreciated.
