long-term fl ap displacement. A reported disadvantage to this new
technology is that surgical time is increased, leaving the stroma
exposed several minutes longer, which has led to reported complaints
of photophobia and eye irritation for up to two days after surgery.
While it may take longer (4 to 7 days) to recover good vision, the
approach appears to be associated with a lower incidence of dry eyes,
corneal complications, and enhancement procedures compared with
traditional LASIK.
The FAA requires that civil airmen with refractive surgical procedures
(e.g., PRK, LASIK) discontinue fl ying until their eyecare specialist
has determined that their vision is stable and there are no signifi cant
adverse effects or complications. The airman should submit one of
two documents to the FAA (a report from their eyecare specialist or
“Report of Eye Evaluation” [FAA-8500-7]). These reports can be
submitted directly to the Aerospace Medical Certifi cation Division
when released from care, or to their Aviation Medical Examiner
during their next fl ight physical. This report should state:
“. . . . that the airman meets the visual acuity standards and the
report of eye evaluation indicates healing is complete, visual acuity
remains stable, and the applicant does not suffer sequela, such as
glare intolerance, halos, rings, impaired night vision, or any other
complications. . . .” (Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners, July
2005)
If you are a pilot contemplating refractive surgery, consult an eyecare
specialist to determine if you are a good candidate for laser refractive
surgery. Although the FAA and most major air carriers allow laser
refractive surgery, professional aviators should consider how it
could affect their occupational and certifi cation status. As with any
invasive procedure, there are many variables that can infl uence the
fi nal outcome. You should understand all risks as well as the benefi ts
before electing to have a procedure performed that could compromise
your visual performance in the cockpit.

PURPOSE OF MEDICAL CERTIFICATION
To ensure that only those pilots who are physically and mentally fi t will
be authorized to operate aircraft, thereby enhancing aviation safety by
eliminating the medical factor as a cause of aircraft accidents.
