Questão jurídica principal
Whether the left-eye corneal graft qualifies as a medical measure chargeable to disability insurance under Article 12 LAI.
Decisão extraída
No. Because the operation addressed an unstable final stage of keratoconus and thus treated the underlying affection itself, it was not a covered medical measure.
Fundamentação extraída
AI covers only measures directly needed for rehabilitation and aimed at stable or relatively stable defects. The medical reports described an unstable final stage and ongoing evolution of keratoconus; therefore the graft fell within treatment of the affection as such, not corrective rehabilitation.
