This book was released on 2006 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s, civil airmen have been allowed to correct refractive error (i.e., myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) with corrective surgery. Prior Federal Aviation Administration research studies have shown that the number of civil airmen with refractive surgery continues to increase. A study that reviewed refractive surgery use in civil airmen for the years 1994-96, reported that the largest percentage had radial keratotomy (RK). A similar study that reported on the years 1996-2001, however, showed that there had been a substantial increase in the percentage of airmen with laser refractive surgery, i.e., photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). A reference guide on refractive surgery was published in September of 1998 (DOT/FAA/AM-98/25); however, at that time long-term clinical data on PRK and LASIK were not available. The introduction of new refractive surgical techniques (e.g., laser epithelial keratomileusis [LASEK], laser thermal keratoplasty [LTK], conductive keratoplasty [CK], Intacs, phakic IOLs, and presbyopia surgeries) and technology (e.g., wavefront-guided systems, Femtosecond Lasers, inlays, and onlays) has further added to concerns regarding the use of refractive surgical procedures by aviators. In order to provide the aviation community with information to formulate administrative decisions and policies associated with existing and emerging refractive surgical procedures, this paper reviews current procedures and discusses their applicability in the civil aviation environment.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airmen with aphakia and intraocular (IOL) implants who, on a case-by- case basis, may obtain a waiver for a medical certificate, have been previously associated with higher aviation accident rates when compared to the total civil airman population. This study analyzes the accident frequencies of these civil airmen for a 4-year period (1982-95). Medical records were evaluated for all. certified airmen who carried FAA-specific pathology codes for aphakia and artificial lens implants during the study period. Aviation accident and active airman population frequencies were obtained from FAA databases. The entire population of aphakia and IOL airmen and those

This book was released on 1998 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of surgery to correct refractive errors continues to evolve at a significant pace. Radial keratotomy (RK), the first widely accepted refractive surgical procedure, involves making radial incisions on the peripheral cornea. These incisions weaken the cornea and allow intraocular pressure to push the peripheral cornea out, flattening the apex and reducing refractive power. There are many disadvantages with RK that raise concerns regarding its use in the aviation environment. These include: progressive hyperopic shifts, reduced corneal strength, fluctuation of vision, glare, poor refractive predictability and altitude-induced corneal changes. In October 1995, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the excimer laser to perform photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to reshape the anterior curvature of the cornea. Since that time, PRK has become the refractive surgical procedure of choice. It has been reported that for low to moderate levels of myopia there is greater predictability, no fluctuation of vision or reduction in corneal strength, and about 85% of patients have uncorrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better. As with RK, there are aspects of PRK that raise concerns about its use in the aviation environment. Some of these include: night vision problems (e.g., glare, halos around lights, haze, starbursts, and dim lighting difficulties), reduced contrast sensitivity, stability of refraction, reduced best-corrected visual acuity, and induced anisometropia. Using a mathematical model, it was estimated that by the year 2000 there may be over 1,200 civil airmen who elect to have PRK performed. To provide the aeromedical community with information to formulate administrative decisions and policies associated with this new refractive surgical procedure, this paper reviews the results of clinical trials on PRK and discusses its applicability in aviation.
