Checks by officials from Greece’s main social security fund, IKA-ETAM, have found that the majority of people on Zakynthos who had been claiming disability payments for blindness have no serious problems with their sight.

Of the remaining 221, only 39, or just under 20 percent, were found to have complications with their sight.
