Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for high myopia and retina hole to obtain an addendum VA opinion or a new examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the February 2024 medical opinion did not address whether the Veteran's preexisting myopia was clearly and unmistakably not aggravated beyond its natural progression by an in-service injury, event, or illness, and did not provide a separate medical opinion for the diagnosed retina hole.
