The Board denied service connection for an eye disability, to include myopia and astigmatism, and denied increased ratings for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's eye symptoms were related to his active duty or that his PTSD warranted a higher rating during the relevant periods.
