The Board has determined that the veteran does not have a right eye disorder that is causally or etiologically related to service and therefore denied his claim for service connection.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of any disease or injury resulting in decreased vision during service, nor was there evidence of aggravation by a superimposed disease or injury.
