A choroidal nevus may be mistaken for a melanoma or it may develop into a malignant melanoma. We reviewed the records of over 5,000 aviators examined over the past 14 years at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine. One hundred and fourteen aviators were noted to have one or more choroidal nevi (2.2%). These lesions were found not to affect the aviators' visual performance. However, it is recommended that these lesions be followed at regular intervals by an ophthalmologist.
