Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a dry eye condition to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding its relationship to service and any service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The examiner's previous opinions were not complete as they did not address whether the Veteran's sleep apnea aggravated his dry eye condition without resorting to speculation, necessitating a remand for further examination.
