Granted
The Board granted service connection for cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, and corneal dystrophy, finding that these conditions are due to the Veteran's service-connected traumatic brain injury.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least approximately balanced as to whether the Veteran's diagnosed eye disabilities are due to his service-connected TBI, resolving any doubts in favor of the Veteran.
