Purpose: This article aims to describe the causes of ophthalmological disqualification from the military services detected during specialist consultations conducted at Army Training Hospitals.
Methods: This observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study retrospectively included individuals deemed as "unfit for military service" due to eye diseases identified during the specialist consultation conducted at 3 ATHs between January 2020 and December 2021. The data collected included age, medical and surgical history, reasons for ophthalmological disqualification, uncorrected distance visual acuity, best corrected distance visual acuity and cycloplegic refraction.
Of the body senses, vision is the most important for safe flight. Keratoconus causes progressive blurring and distortion of vision, which threatens the career of a civilian or military aviator. The goal of this retrospective study was to describe a series of keratoconus cases in a pilot population and to discuss decisions about their flight waivers.
