The rising age of pilots and the extension of retirement age underscore the importance of investigating Presbyopia correction intraocular lenses during cataract surgery for Aviation Pilots. This study aims to assess recommendations from aviation regulatory agencies, providing guidance on the use of multifocal intraocular lenses in both commercial and military pilots. A review analysed the perspectives of aviation regulatory agencies regarding the implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses in pilots. Findings reveal a lack of consensus among agencies regarding the use of multifocal intraocular lenses. Some adopt a permissive stance, permitting their use, while others maintain restrictive approaches. Variations in the post-cataract surgery unfit assessment period were observed, ranging from six to twelve weeks. The implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses in aviation pilots remains contentious. Further research is crucial to address unresolved aspects associated with using multifocal intraocular lenses in this context.
飞行员年龄的增长以及退休年龄的延长凸显了在白内障手术中为航空飞行员研究老花眼矫正人工晶状体的重要性。本研究旨在评估航空监管机构的建议，为商业和军事飞行员使用多焦点人工晶状体提供指导。一项综述分析了航空监管机构对飞行员植入多焦点人工晶状体的观点。研究结果显示，各机构在多焦点人工晶状体的使用上缺乏共识。一些机构采取宽松立场，允许使用，而另一些机构则保持限制态度。观察到白内障手术后不适评估期存在差异，从六周至十二周不等。在航空飞行员中植入多焦点人工晶状体仍然存在争议。进一步的研究对于解决在这种情况下使用多焦点人工晶状体相关的未解决问题至关重要。
