Denied
The Board denied service connection for a bilateral eye disability, diagnosed as bilateral glare sensitivity, finding no evidence of a superimposed injury or disease during active service and that the condition was not attributable to service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current bilateral eye disability, diagnosed as bilateral glare sensitivity, was not shown to be related to his in-service PRK surgery due to the lack of evidence of a superimposed injury or disease during active service and the onset many years after service.
