11  Catastrophic blindness injury
  An injury is a catastrophic blindness injury if it results in one or more of the following:
 (a) visual acuity after correction by suitable lenses of less than 6/60 in both eyes; or
 (b) constriction to within 10 degrees of fixation in the better eye irrespective of corrected visual acuity; or
 (c) a combination of visual defects resulting in the same degree of visual impairment as that specified in subsection (a) or (b).
            Note: An employee would have visual acuity of 6/60 if the employee is only able to see at a distance of 6 metres a symbol which a person with normal vision could see at a distance of 60 metres.
