[Settlements of claims for eye injuries in private accident insurance companies].
Claims made to private accident insurers for eye damage have to take possible correction with glasses into account. This verdict by the (Federal German) Supreme Court, which contradicted previous legal doctrine and two concordant court verdicts, confirms among other things the ophthalmological view that glasses are not a kind of prosthesis. This verdict thus brings jurisdiction back into line with legal opinion in the field of social welfare.
