In the Matter of the Claim of Marie Mahon, Respondent, against Phillips & Van Brunt Co., Inc., and New York Printers & Bookbinders Mutual Insurance Company, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.

Employer and carrier appeal from an award for 100% loss of use of the left eye. The appellants assert lack of proof as to accident and causal relation. Convincing proof is given that claimant was injured about twelve days before she lost her vision because of a detached retina. There is evidence that the injury was a competent producing cause. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Bliss, Heffernan, Schenck and Poster, JJ.
