4106. Greenside. Edward Blacklock, 33, hewer.
Fell off with Miners' Nystagmus on 21st February, 1919. After a time he started at light work sawing timber and then commenced filling but had to give up and was restored to full compensation. The Owners' doctor reported on 25th September, 1921, that Blacklock was suffering from Nystagmus to a slight extent and in March, 1922, Blacklock had his War addition stopped and asked for it to be restored.
The case was adjourned at the last meeting to obtain further medical evidence.
Dr. Cunningham reported on 29th May, 1922 :—
"Blacklock is undoubtedly suffering from Miners' Nystagmus. Oscillation of the eyeballs can be observed when he is examined in a stooping position and in a darkened room. From the result of my examination I am of opinion that he is unable to resume work underground, but he is quite fit to perform most kinds of light rough work at bank which does not involve much stooping."
War addition not to be restored.
