[Laser stroboscopy and software tests in the evaluation of visual performance in dispatchers and pilots of civil aviation].

The article deals with original methods of ophthalmic ergonomic diagnosis based on laser speckles. The authors suggest some software methods to examine visual performance.

[Visual work modes in operators of video display terminals].

The article deals with interaction between human aviation operator and airborne and ground-based display systems. The authors stress significant changes in binocular vision, that demonstrate dynamics in general fatigue.

[Epidemiology of refraction abnormalities in Northern Navy young soldiers].

Screening ophthalmological studies were carried out in 2851 soldiers arriving to Northern Navy, in order to detect ocular diseases, refraction abnormalities, and functional disorders. Visual disorders were detected in 529 subjects (19%), refraction abnormalities in 87% of these. Myopia predominated (344 subjects, 66%) in the structure of ophthalmological disorders.

[Changes in clinical refraction in future pilots during the course of training].

Changes in clinical refraction parameters were followed up in 343 students of school of pilots in the town of Burguruslan in the course of vocational training. Skiascopy and laser refractometry methods were used. Dynamic follow-up of clinical refraction showed its increase in 24.

[The status of ocular fixation in civil aviation pilots].

This paper discussed the importance of gaze fixation for professional pilot activities. It describes new methods for evaluating mono- and binocular fixation. The results of examinations of pilots with mild emmetropia and ametropia demonstrate that qualitative parameters of gaze fixation are important adequate assessment of visual abilities.
