This special report was written as a review and reference for USAF vision specialists in prescribing spectacles for aviators. Vision correction in flyers presents unique problems especially for the presbyopes. The demands of each individual aircraft environment need to be well understood. USAF ophthalmologists and optometrists must consider the pertinent aeromedical factors before prescribing spectacles for ametropic aircrew members. This report includes a comprehensive guide to cockpit instrument panel distances and print sizes for most USAF aircraft. Keywords: Human factors engineering; Eyeglasses; Cockpits; Spectacles; Presbyopia; Bifocals; Trifocals; Multifocals; Vision; Aviators; Flyers; Aircrew members; Prescribing eyeglasses. (KT)
