Denied
The Board denied the claim for service connection for a bilateral eye condition, including as secondary to service-connected persistent depressive disorder, other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, and alcohol use disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively show that the Veteran's dry eyes or photosensitivity were related to his active service or service-connected psychiatric disability.
