title: [Proposals for a new partial permanent incapacity rate for aphakia].
abstract: Thanks to modern methods of correction in aphakia, (precornea lenses, and intra-ocular implants), the patient is less and less concerned by the major inconveniences linked to aphakia. It is, therefore, desirable to fix, in common law, the rate of partial permanent incapacity, according to whether the aphakic patient is well or poorly compensated by a prothesis. The residual global incapacity rate, would be the sum of the two following figures: 1 - A basic disability figure, of five to eight per cent taking into account the discomfort brought by the accessory consequences of the aphakic condition (photophobia, dyschromatopsy, post-operative astigmatism, exophory). 2 - A figure varying from the simple to double, based not upon the degree of visual acuity obtained after correction, but on the loss of visual acuity in comparison with the previous condition. This figure would be one per cent of incapacity, if aphakia is functional corrected, and two per cent in the contrary case.
