The Board remands the claim for service connection for right eye uveitis with posterior synechaie to obtain a further medical opinion regarding whether the Veteran's condition pre-existed military service and, if not, whether it was caused by or incurred during service.
The deciding factor: A further medical opinion is necessary due to the absence of rationale supporting the conclusion that the Veteran's right eye conditions clearly and unmistakably pre-existed military service.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
