| 摘要： | The use of artificial lens implants to correct for aphakia has become increasingly prevalent in the United States. This study analyzes the distribution of intraocular lens (IOL) implants in the civil airman population by type (unilateral, bilateral), class of medical certificate, and gender for a 4-year period (198285). Medical records were evaluated for all certified airmen who were carrying pathology codes for aphakia and artificial lens implant during the study period. The percentage increase in the prevalence of airmen with artificial lenses was higher for bilateral, second-class medical certificate holders, and female aphakics. However, the incidence of total and unilateral artificial lens implants declined in 1985. The implications of the study's findings for aeromedical certification are discussed. A change in the methods used to evaluate trends in the use of IOL in the airman population is recommended. Vision, Epidemiology, Aphakia, Lens, Intraocular, Medical certification. |
