Abstract To the Editor. —I wish to question, in one respect, the estimation of the loss of visual efficiency as drawn by the Council on Industrial Health of the American Medical Association.

As a result of an automobile accident the patient apparently suffered a blow-out fracture of the left orbital floor, which tethered the inferior oblique so that elevation of the eye was severely limited. There had been no surgical intervention, and when I saw her five years after the accident, diplopia occurred in most of the upper binocular field, but also involved the central to about 15° below the horizontal.
