Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral eye disorder, to include as due to radiation exposure, finding that the evidence did not support an etiological relationship between the Veteran's service and his diagnosed conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical opinions against the claim were more probative than those in favor of it, and that the Veteran was not competent to provide a medical opinion on the matter.
