title: [Assessing accidental damage to the integrity of the eye with preexisting damage].
abstract: According to the insurance law, compensation for damage of integrity has to be realized only in cases of accident caused damage of integrity. In cases of preexisting damage on the affected eye the evaluation is simple: Total damage minus non accidental cause integrity damage is equal to accident caused damage of integrity. More difficult is the evaluation in cases of preexisting damage on the partner eye. According to the visual function of the non affected eye (first eye) the basic value of the accident eye (second eye) amounts in case of total loss between 30 and 70%. Values in between in cases of partial damages are explained by means of a three-dimensional graphic.
