Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral anterior basement membrane dystrophy to obtain an addendum opinion on whether it is a usual effect of PRK surgery and, if so, whether it was aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not obtaining an opinion on whether bilateral anterior basement membrane dystrophy is a usual effect of PRK surgery.
