Great Vision for Aviators
The flyspeck on the windscreen becomes an approaching aircraft on a collision course in mere seconds; a missed symbol on a map or a runway sign turns into a mortal calamity; a simple error in reading an instrument is a life and death matter in moments. Is it any wonder that issues related to vision are of paramount interest whenever aviators gather? Their own lives and the lives of many others depend on their vision and on their ability to meld visual information, knowledge and experience into quick, effective action.
Eyecare professionals (ECPs) need to understand the unique problems of aviators’ vision, yet few of them have much in-depth information or experience with the special visual and eyewear requirements of aviation. Correct frame choice, break resistance, absorptive properties, color recognition, glare and UV protection, anti-reflective properties, adaptation problems, contact lens use and presbyopia and its correction are only a few of the issues that should be given special consideration when designing eyewear for aviators.
