HERLIHY, J. P.,

On April 16, 1966 the claimant was at work and bumped his forehead in the course of the employment. As a result of this accident he broke a lens in his eyeglasses and filed a claim for the bill for the replacement thereof. The insurance carrier refused to pay the bill and contends that the device was not required as the result of an injury to the claimant's body and, therefore, it is not compensable.
