The Ophthalmology Branch, at the USAF School fo Aerospace Medicine, has initiated a program to extensively study night visual performance. Some of the objectives of ths program are to develop a simple, rapid, and accurate night vision screening device; establish norms for flying personnel; evaluate training and enhancement techniques; determine the effects of various nutrients and drugs; and investigate image-intensifying devices--i.e., night vision goggles (NVG). An additional objective is to update the educational level of USAF flight surgeons, base optometrists, and ophthamologists about the aeromedical aspects of night vision and the new NVG technology. This manual was designed to provide useful information to the medical personnels that provide direct support to operational units.
