Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant contends that Section 440.-15(3)(a)(l), Florida Statutes (1981), which limits claimant’s permanent impairment benefits to $1200 for the permanent loss of' sight in one eye is, as applied in this case, unconstitutional.

Lauderdale Hospital, 418 So.2d 1099 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); Mahoney v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 419 So.2d 754 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); John v.
