Clinical reference tool
Disability Percentage Calculator — Eyes & Vision
This tool gives a preliminary estimate of the medical disability percentage for eye and vision impairments in Israel, based on the statutory impairment schedules of the National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) — used for work-injury, general-disability and, as a guiding benchmark, medical-negligence and tort claims — and the Disabled Persons regulations of the Ministry of Defense (for IDF veterans). It mirrors the calculation order and the references to the regulations.
The calculator interface below is in Hebrew and reads right-to-left, exactly as the schedules are published. Select a track, enter each eye’s best-corrected visual acuity, and add any further findings to see the weighted percentage.

Important limitations
This estimate is preliminary only. It is not a medical opinion, does not determine disability, and is not legal advice. Disability percentages are set solely by an authorised medical board — or by a court-appointed expert — after examination. The tool does not deduct a pre-existing condition, does not assess causation, and does not apply Regulation 15. Substantial amendments were made to the ophthalmology chapter in 1992 and 2012, and the transitional provisions apply the amendment to cases heard by the board on or after the commencement date.
