U.S. Federal Aviation Administration Policy on LASIK
According to the Federal Air Surgeon's Medical Bulletin, Fall 1998, the FAA accepts LASIK for its pilots, as long as the FAA examining doctor finds "the post-operative condition has stabilized," pilots have "no significant adverse effects or complications" and their eyes meet "the appropriate vision standards" one to six months post-operatively.
The bulletin states that it is the pilot's responsibility to have his or her doctor send a copy of a report documenting outcomes to the Aeromedical Certification division in Oklahoma City. This report will then become part of the pilot's permanent record. For more information, you can write to FAA Civil Aeromedical Institute, Aeromedical Education Division, AAM-400, P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125
What is LASEK
LASEK is a relatively new surgery that utilizes a trephine to create an epithelial flap (as opposed to a deeper stromal flap with LASIK) and an alcohol solution to preserve the epithelial cells. Once the epithelial flap is created and lifted, the treatment proceeds as for traditional PRK, with light smoothing at its conclusion. Then, the epithelial flap is repositioned with a small spatula.
