Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for an eye disability, including dry eye syndrome, pseudophakia, and glaucoma, finding that there is no evidence linking these conditions to his active duty service or a service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found that the Veteran's current eye disabilities were age-related and not related to in-service flash burns or exposure to asbestos. There was also no evidence of aggravation by his service-connected atopic dermatitis.
