Lasik Helps U.S. Retain Pilots, Astronauts

The natural human aging process is in a constant war with the U.S. military and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Aging has always degraded the vision of Air Force pilots, Navy divers and NASA astronauts - and this has made it difficult for the respective services to retain them.

The government has always feared that eyeglasses and contact lenses could be broken or dislodged in the course of the service members' often grueling work, threatening life, limb and government property in the process. Even with the advent of Lasik surgery, the fear didn't subside. (Read more about Lasik Helps U.S. Retain Pilots, Astronauts)

Choosing Between Traditional and Custom Lasik

Lasik eyesight-correction surgery, a phenomenal breakthrough when it was first approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration in 1995, has recently been trumped big-time by the innovation known as wavefront Lasik technology, which is some 25 times more precise than its older cousin.

The consumer still has both choices available today - the traditional versus the new custom technique - but there is an enormous difference in technology. (Read more about Choosing Between Traditional and Custom Lasik)

Air Force Allows Pilots With Lasik to Fly

For the first time, the US Air Force is allowing aspiring pilots and aircrew members to fly even if they have had LASIK eye surgery.

Since 2001, the Air Force has permitted applicants to try for spots as pilots or aircrew members if they have had a corrective eye surgery, known as PRK (photo refractive keratectomy). The Air Force had said it needed more time to evaluate LASIK, a newer procedure. (Read more about Air Force Allows Pilots With Lasik to Fly)

FARSIGHTEDNESS LASER SURGERY

“All my life, I’ve worn glasses. I think I first got glasses when I was in the third grade,” says Ben Anderson, whose eyesight was corrected with laser surgery.
58 year old Ben Anderson has wanted to toss his glasses for years. He has struggled with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and poor depth perception.
“Walking down the street, I might not be able to recognize someone I knew, which can be embarrassing,” says Ben. (Read more about FARSIGHTEDNESS LASER SURGERY)

Visual Process

The visual process is the means by which the eye perceives light and movement and translates these into nerve impulses. (Read more about Visual Process)

Vision 20/20

An eye exam will show any abnormal arterial growth that will threaten one's eyesight. Lenses are used to re-focus light to land where it is supposed, correcting this error of refraction. (Read more about Vision 20/20)

Radial Keratotomy

Radial keratotomy, or RK, changes the shape of the cornea by making incisions with a surgical knife to flatten, steepen or alter the contour of the front of the eye. (Read more about Radial Keratotomy)

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a vision condition in which the crystalline lens in the eye loses its flexibility. The lens of the eye focus's the image upon the retina. (Read more about Presbyopia)

Nystagmus
