Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral eye disability and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence establishing a nexus between the Veteran's current eye disabilities and his military service, including any exposure to UV rays or other environmental factors. The medical opinions provided did not find a causal relationship between the Veteran's eye conditions and his time in service.
