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.

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)

Vision Impairment Study Stories

Vision Impairment Study

If you think you might need glasses, but don’t, you’re not alone.

According to new research in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there are millions of Americans with vision impairment.

The most common reasons for vision impairment, fortunately, are refractive errors--when the lense of the eye doesn’t focus the image sharply on the retina, the seeing part of the eye. That’s where glasses and contact lenses come in. But you have to wear them to correct your vision.

“I wear glasses but only when I am in class to see the board.” Natalie admits what happens when she doesn’t wear her glasses: “It is all blurry.”

Hopefully all Natalie is nearsighted--meaning, she can’t see far away. (Read more about Vision Impairment Study)
