title: [When is the Damage to the Eye to be Assessed as Corresponding to a 25 % Reduction in Earning Ability?].
abstract: In General Accident Insurance, loss of sight in one eye is assessed as giving a 25 % reduction in earning capacity. This does not exclude the possibility that a greater reduction in earning capacity can be assessed for this eye. The ophthalmological situation is outlined under which a much greater reduction in earning capacity can be assessed, if there is not misassessment.
