Abstract

As court-appointed medical advisors in the speciality of ophthalmology for the Israeli Labour Courts, we are called upon to assist in making decisions on work-related eye injuries or illnesses. In this report we present seven cases of eye injuries which workers claimed were caused by work accidents. Each case helps to illustrate the various guidelines we use in making a medical judgement as to whether or not a specific ocular problem was, indeed, the result of a work accident.
