Partly granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 10 percent disability rating for dry eye syndrome and denied service connection for hyperopia, presbyopia, optic nerve cupping, and glaucoma.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms were not clearly and unmistakably erroneous, and the evidence did not support service connection for the other conditions claimed.
