Vcc 20/40+2 ++s 20/30+1
20/50+1 ++s
It appears to be a vision reading but I would appreciate understanding the abbreviation or acronym.

VCC
I think this is an imaging technique. Would this fit your context?

variable corneal compensation?

--------------------------------------------------
Aim: To investigate the potential advantage of an enhanced corneal compensation algorithm (ECC) compared with variable corneal compensation (VCC) in the analysis of scanning laser polarimetric (SLP) images with atypical retardation pattern (ARP).
Methods: SLP-VCC images with ARP (typical scan score (TSS) <80) of one eye of each of 27 glaucoma patients and 19 healthy subjects were compared with the corresponding SLP-ECC images obtained at the same session.

Abstract
PURPOSE. In scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (SLP-VCC), the macula is used as an intraocular polarimeter to calculate and neutralize corneal birefringence based on an intact Henle’s layer. The purpose of this investigation was to validate this strategy in eyes with macular structural disease.
METHODS. A nerve fiber analyzer was modified to enable the measurement of corneal polarization axis and magnitude so that compensation for corneal birefringence was eye specific. Normal subjects and patients with a variety of pathologic macular conditions underwent complete ocular examination, SLP-VCC, and direct measurement of the corneal polarization axis (CPA), with a slit-lamp–mounted corneal polarimeter. Macular birefringence patterns were classified as well defined, weak, or indeterminate bow ties. A new “screen” method is described that determines the anterior segment birefringence without relying on the presence of macular bow-tie patterns.

Scrap this one. Anne's suggestion makes a lot more sense in context.
