Abstract: Objective:To put forward the assessment and qualification suggestions for the military flying personnel with laser corneal refractive surgery by analyzing the cases of active military flying personnel in China and reviewing the progress of refractive surgery abroad.Method:Twelve cases of laser corneal refractive surgery, including photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) of the flying personnel treated in Air Force Medical Center, PLA from January of 2012 to December of 2021, were analyzed retrospectively, and the relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:Five cases recovered to 1.0 or better distance visual acuity by 7 d, another 3 by 1 month. Till to 2 months all 12 cases recovered to that level. The visual acuity was stable 2-3 months after operation, and the refraction tended to be stable 1 month after operation. All 12 flying personnel returned to flight duty successfully 2-6 months after operation.Conclusions:It is recommended to use surface laser corneal refractive surgery (PRK and LASEK) to correct myopia for military flying personnel and the optimum re-flight time is 2-3 months after operation in case of passing the regular aviation medical evaluation.
