[Assessment of eye lesions in private accident insurance. IV. (Supplement). Decision of the German Federal Supreme Court dated Apr 24, 1974 (IVVZR 54/73, celle)].

Blindness of one eye, caused by accident, has to be judged as a degree of invalidity between 30 and 70 per cent if the other eye had partial or complete loss of function before the accident. Some statements leading to that sentence of the federal german supreme court are shown. (See also Klin. Mbl. Augenheilk. 169 [1976] 647, 774; 170 [1977] 131).
