Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for decompensating esophoria without diplopia and migraine headaches, including migraine variants (secondary to decompensating esophoria without diplopia), as an adequate medical opinion was not obtained.
The deciding factor: An addendum opinion is needed to address whether the Veteran's eye condition was aggravated by any injury or event during military service, and to determine if the migraines are secondary to the eye condition.
