Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an eye disorder, separate and distinct from left eye vitreous floaters, to obtain a more adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's lay statements or in-service treatment records indicating eye issues during service.
