Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for several conditions but remanded decisions on bilateral primary open angle glaucoma and vitreous degeneration due to participation in a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) and an anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran has had these disabilities at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim.
