Dear Victor,
1. Since she is covered under ESI Act, she would be entitled for Disability Benefit (pension) under the ESI Act. Assuming that her one eye is lost without affecting the other eye, her disability should be 40%. As per calculation of Disability Benefit under the ESI Rules, she is entitled to monthly pension of 30 to 32% of her average wages of the last 6 months. Taking that her average monthly wages was Rs. 7800/, she should get monthly pension of around Rs. 2400/= till her life. The provisions of ESI Act are considerably superior to those of Workmen Compensation Act.
2. Please get the accident reported to the ESI authorities at the earliest.
