[Recommendations for the evaluation of complicated aphakia in private accident insurance]. 1985

K H Emmerich

An evaluation of cases in which an expert opinion was obtained during the last 2 years shows that only one-third of patients with traumatic aphakia and a 20/30 loss of vision are adequately assessed. If there are further consequences of the accident (complicated aphakia) they should also be taken into account when assessing loss of vision. A simple method of doing this is described on the basis of three examples.
