Abstract
Objective To review the development subject to the researches of refractive error correction and its effects to flying.Literature resource and selection Research papers,study reports and monographs in this field.Literature quotation Fifty-six papers and writings in this field were cited.Literature synthesis The advantages and disadvantages of applying refractive error correction for the flying personnel were discussed.Application feasibility of corneal refractive surgery was emphasized.Conclusions Comparing with other correction methods,such as glasses wearing,corneal contact lens and intra-ocular refraction surgery,corneal refractive surgery would have a prospect result for the flying personnel.At present,many foreign civilian flying personnel choose laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) as the method of correction while military flying personnel choose photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).Femtosecond laser LASIK has been approved in refractive error correction of American military flying personnel,and those lessons would be consulted to Chinese military flying personnel. Key words: Refractive error; Aviation; Keratectomy, photorefractive, excimer laser; Keratomileasis, laser in situ
