Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals of a left eye injury, to include recurrent corneal erosion, and restored the 30 percent disability rating for the left lower eyelid scar.
The deciding factor: Resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, his in-service left eye injury resulted in symptoms including intermittent blurred vision, light sensitivity, and left orbital pain that has continued to the present, and was diagnosed as recurrent corneal erosion.
