  • Title: Prescribing spectacles for aviators: USAF experience.
    Author: Miller RE, Kent JF, Green RP.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1992 Jan; 63(1):80-5. PubMed ID: 1550540.
    Abstract:
    This special report was written for USAF vision specialists to use as a guide when prescribing spectacles for military aviators and to extend to the civilian sector the knowledge gained from the USAF experience. Visual correction in aviators presents some unique problems, especially for presbyopes. The demands of each individual aircraft environment need to be well understood. Ophthalmologists and optometrists must consider all pertinent aeromedical factors before prescribing spectacles for ametropic aviators.
