Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for residuals from cataract removal but granted service connection for bilateral dry eye syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's cataracts and subsequent eye disorder were related to his military service, while there was sufficient evidence to establish that his dry eye syndrome had its onset in service.
