PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Laser refractive surgery in the United States Air Force has developed into a robust program since its inception in 2001. The goal of this study is to summarize recent developments in the program. Presentations at national meetings, recently published articles, and unpublished data...
Reports that the U.S. Air Force will allow LASIK or photorefractive keratectomy under its warfighter refractive surgery program. Application of the change in policy to non-flying staff; Statement of the Air Force chief consultant for optometry Mark Welter.EBSCO_AspReview of Optometry...
Aerospace ophthalmology combines the practice of clinical ophthalmology and aerospace medicine in attempting to solve the visual and ophthalmological problems of the aviator and astronaut. The Ophthalmology Branch of the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine has exclusively performed this task for ...
If you're asking "How do I become a U.S. Air Force pilot," then read this first post in our series, "So you want to be an Air Force Pilot?"
as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. The fan46is configured with a center of gravity that is centered between the motor48bearings. This reduces force moments about the motor48bearings thus reducing stress to the motor48bearings. In essence, loads on the fan46are thus shared ...

Refractive surgeryAir pressureWind speedLaser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is one of the dominant procedures for the surgical correction of refractive errors. Meteorotropic reaction has been described regarding the field of ophthalmology. This study was thus initiated to assess the impact of air ...
Conclusions: Using a high force airflow with the draft facing downwards can dampen and divert the exhaled airflow away from healthcare providers. Using masks /mechanical barriers and taping the mask reduces potential dissemination of aerosols and thereby human and surface contamination....
