- Contents:
- Civil airmen with refractive surgery may obtain any class of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical certificate provided they meet the applicable vision standards, and an eye specialist verifies that healing is complete, visual acuity is stable, and no significant glare intolerance is present. However, concerns remain regarding the quality of the resulting refractive correction, long-term stability, side effects, and the potential surgical complications associated with refractive surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an association existed between refractive surgery and aviation accidents.
