Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased evaluation for left eye blind spots/scotoma and service connection for bilateral dry eye syndrome and status post PRK surgery.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran's left eye disability or bilateral dry eye syndrome is related to his active military service, and therefore, service connection cannot be established on a direct basis.
