The Board remands the issue of service connection for headaches, secondary to a service-connected right eye disability, due to an inadequate medical opinion and potential toxic exposure risk activities during service.

The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address both causation and aggravation in the context of secondary service connection, and there is evidence suggesting potential toxic exposure that requires further evaluation.
