Partly granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 30 percent evaluation for homonymous visual field defect due to stroke, while denying service connection for dry eye syndrome, posterior vitreous detachment, and basal cell carcinoma, left eye lid.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not demonstrate a relationship between the claimed conditions and the Veteran's military service, except for the homonymous visual field defect which was found to be related to stroke during service.
