[The term "inability to pursue an employment" from the ophthalmologist's viewpoint (author's transl)].

The judgement of disablement is of special economic and social-medical importance. While there are nearly no differences between physicians concerning the judgement of disablement in cases of grave ophthalmological clinical pictures, there exist greater differences in the judgement of so-called "bagatelle"-injuries and -diseases, which demand a temporary unilateral eye-dressing. The problem of functional unilateral vision up to now was considered under the aspect of a lasting disease, but not for a short period of time. A unique decision concerning the disablement should be aimed at by all medical practitioners. In addition to the judgement of disablement the private insurances demand a detailed report for the temporary impairment of disablement, which by no means can be demanded from the ophthalmologists.
