Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral glaucoma, which is secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's bilateral glaucoma was proximately due to his service-connected hypertension, and the Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
