Denied
The Board denied service connection for an eye disability, as there was no evidence of a current disability related to symptoms of blurriness and watery eyes during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The examiner opined that the Veteran's current eye conditions were less likely than not caused by in-service events or injuries, with the primary cause attributed to post-service factors such as diabetes mellitus type II and cataracts.
