The Board found that the veteran does not have a current corneal abrasion disorder and denied his claim for service connection. Additionally, he was referred to the RO for initial consideration of increased evaluations for arteriosclerotic heart disease with angina and hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: There is no probative evidence showing that the veteran has a current corneal abrasion disorder or any other eye condition related to service. The Board also referred his claims for increased evaluations to the RO for further consideration.
