La Fuerza Aérea permite a los pilotos volar con una cirugía Lasik
Por primera vez la fuerza aérea Estadounidense está permitiendo volar a los aspirantes a pilotos y a los miembros de la tripulación aérea, aún si se han sometido a una cirugía ocular Lasik.
Desde el 2001, la fuerza aérea ha permitido a los candidatos a pilotos o miembros de tripulación de que experimenten en determinados sitios, si es que han tenido una cirugía ocular correctiva conocida como PRK (Photo Refractive keratectomy/ Queratotomía fotorefractiva).
La fuerza aérea ha dicho que necesitaba más tiempo para evaluar la cirugía LASIK, que es un procedimiento mucho más nuevo.
Al igual que el PRK, la cirugía LASIK es realizada con un láser para cambiar la forma de la córnea, la cobertura clara del ojo. Sin embargo, en un procedimiento LASIK, los cirujanos utilizan un bisturí para cortar un gajo en la córnea a diferencia del procedimiento PRK.
Los cirujanos de la fuerza aérea estaban preocupados por el hecho de pensar de cómo este colgajo del LASIK se mantendría con los pilotos y miembros de la tripulación volando en ambientes de gran altitud y bajo oxígeno, especialmente en una evacuación de emergencia. Los estudios ahora muestran que existe muy poco o prácticamente ningún efecto cuando los ojos tratados con LASIK pasan a través de una ráfaga de viento después de una expulsión de la aeronave o cuando son expuestos a una gran altitud.
Con la prolongada guerra en Irak y la expansión del servicio militar, la ampliación de los requisitos para el vuelo llega en muy buen momento.
