Granted
The Board granted service connection for left eye glaucoma, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's left eye glaucoma is related to his in-service basketball injury, and thus the benefit of the doubt doctrine provides that such reasonable doubt be resolved in favor of the Veteran.
