or
11947 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the treatment with a drug reported to have caused acute angle-closure glaucoma and eligible service for the clinical onset of the condition under consideration.
Clinical onset and operational service [11978]
on operational service, the veteran underwent treatment with a drug reported to have caused acute angle-closure glaucoma within the 24 hours before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the treatment with a drug reported to have caused acute angle-closure glaucoma, on operational service, within the 24 hours before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration, was due to the veteran's serious default, wilful act or serious breach of discipline.or
