Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for glaucoma was denied. The claim for sleep apnea was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence weighs persuasively against a service connection for glaucoma, but there may be a relationship between sleep apnea and the Veteran's service-connected PTSD.
