Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left eye condition to obtain an addendum opinion regarding whether the Veteran's service-connected hypertension caused or aggravated his left eye central retinal vein occlusion and pseudophakia.
The deciding factor: The VA opinion is incomplete because it does not address a secondary service connection theory of entitlement reasonably raised by the opinion, specifically related to the Veteran's service-connected hypertension.
