Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a current VA examination and to obtain an opinion regarding whether the diagnosed eye disabilities are related to service, including the in-service diagnosis of 'glaucoma suspect'.
The deciding factor: The AOJ committed pre-decisional duty to assist errors by failing to provide a current VA examination and obtaining an opinion regarding the relationship between the diagnosed eye disabilities and the Veteran's active service.
