Hello, I am from BC Canada. I work for the government. I had a chemical sprayed in my eyes at work. My vision used to be better than 20/20 now 4 months later it is still 20/50. I am still on sick leave getting paid at the moment. The eye specialist has told me that it is not medically safe for me to be working. However the doctors at where I work are trying to force me to go back to work to do meaningless jobs such as fold towels etc. Big step down from mechanic. Don't know what my legal rights are?
 
I hope your eyes heal ok, I am sorry to hear you had that injury. When you are injured, there is nothing wrong with doing work that is available and within your restriction. it is temporary and will assure you are paid regularly. Take the light duty.
