The Board denied service connection for bilateral eye disability, finding no evidence that the condition was incurred in or caused by service and noting that it is not related to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions provided clear conclusions and supporting data, as well as a reasoned medical explanation connecting the Veteran's current conditions with his service or service-connected PTSD. The evidence does not support a finding of a causal relationship between the Veteran's bilateral eye disability and either his service or his service-connected PTSD.
