Vision disorders are often caused by the shape of the eyeball. The lens of the eye bends light to focus an image on the retina. This bending of light is called refracting. A misshapen eye will not refract the light properly. This can result in an image that is focused in front of the retina, behind the retina, or even multiple focal points. The natural shape of the eye, and the ability of the eye muscles to subtly alter this shape, both play a part in the eye's ability to focus clearly on an object.

Results in the quarter and six months were adversely impacted by the debt tender offer completed in April and restricted stock granted in May. Mike Miller, CEO of OneBeacon, said, "Our underwriting results for the quarter were solid despite significant catastrophe activity. Importantly, our non-catastrophe accident year results were strong.
