Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a vision disability due to inadequate medical opinions and the need for additional development.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinions were deemed inadequate as they did not consider the Veteran's in-service exposure to herbicides or his reported in-service right eye injury, and simply stated that there was no evidence of such during service or since.
