The Board denied service connection for keratitis, finding it to be acute and transitory in nature. The claim for polycystic ovarian syndrome was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not establish chronic keratitis that was incurred or aggravated during active service. For the polycystic ovarian syndrome, additional evidence is needed to confirm its presence and etiology.
