4273. Thornley. John Calvert, 53, stoneman.
Fell off with nystagmus on 27th November, 1917. Calvert was paid compensation up to the 8th October, 1921. The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Percival) who reported on the 26th November, 1921 :—
"J. Calvert is short sighted and requires spectacles for seeing at a distance. He presents no signs of nystagmus and no sign of disabilities due to the accident and his condition is such that he is in my opinion fit for his ordinary work."
Dr. Cunningham examined Calvert on 8th May, 1922, and reported :—
"Calvert is suffering from Miners' Nystagmus. The oscillation of the eye balls can be observed when he is examined in a darkened room and in a stooping position. He is also suffering from myopia (short sight) and it is necessary for him to wear glasses to improve his distance vision.
From the result of my examination I am of opinion that Calvert is incapacitated from working underground ; he is, however, fit for light rough work at bank which does not involve much stooping."
Calvert asked that his case be re-opened.
Case referred to Official Medical Referee.
