The objection of the appellant is that the award is contrary to the credible medical evidence and contrary to law, in that before the accident claimant was congenitally blind in his right eye. Before claimant was placed in the employment in question, he was subjected to a physical examination in the presence of a physician for the department, and the report of the examination showed practically normal vision.
