The Aerospace Medical Panel Symposium on Visual Protection and Enhancement was held at the Zappeion Exhibition Hall, Athens, Greece from April 22 to 24, 1985. Authors from five NATO countries presented 25 papers. The theme of the symposium recognized that vision is the pre-eminent sensory channel through which the aviator obtains information necessary for the control of his aircraft and the execution of his operational role. Recognizing this importance all reasonable and practical means of enhancing and protecting vision should be adopted. The papers selected for this symposium considered not only systems for visual protection and enhancement but also addressed the basic physiological and pathological mechanisms underlying existing and future solutions. The purpose of this symposium was two-fold. Firstly to discuss current and future technologies for the protection of the eyes of aircrew against hazards from impact and non-ionising radiation and to address the problems of integrating any protective devices within the cockpit. Secondly to consider means of enhancing vision by new intra and extra ocular lenses, avionic displays, night vision goggles (NVGs), forward looking infra red (FLIR), low light television (LLTV) and helmet mounted displays (HMDs) and, again, the problems of their integration within the cockpit and with each other.
