Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral eye disability, to include normal tension glaucoma and epiretinal membrane with cataracts, as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were due to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's current diagnoses are due to any in-service injury or disease. The collective opinions of the C&P examiners provided negative etiological opinions, and there are no contrary opinions of record.
