Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of glaucoma as secondary to hypertension due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA examination report was found to be factually inaccurate and did not adequately address the Veteran's reports or the risk factors associated with primary open angle glaucoma.
