Extensive research in aviation medicine has been devoted to various aspects of vision, but there has been little attention to the eye problems of flight attendants. Flight attendants, especially contact lens wearers, have complained about eye discomfort in aircraft. The purpose of this study was to evaluate some of the conditions in aircraft that might influence their eye comfort. A questionnaire on eye comfort was developed in conjunction with the Air Safety Department of the Association of Flight Attendants and distributed through its Flightlog magazine. Of the 774 respondents, 95% reported some eye discomfort in aircraft. It is significant that both those who did and who did wear contact lenses reported similar eye problems. The most common eye problems reported were conjunctival redness and dried eyes. Smoking was indicated by the respondents to be the most noticeable factor causing eye symptoms. Aircraft cabin conditions are discussed, including relative humidity, atmospheric oxygen, and ozone concentration. Since air passengers are exposed to the same aircraft conditions as the attendants, they probably would manifest similar eye problems.
航空医学领域的大量研究都集中在视力的各个方面，但对空乘人员的眼部问题却鲜有关注。空乘人员，尤其是佩戴隐形眼镜的人员，曾抱怨在飞机上眼睛会感到不适。本研究的目的是评估飞机上可能影响他们眼部舒适度的一些情况。一份关于眼部舒适度的调查问卷与空乘人员协会的航空安全部门联合制定，并通过其《飞行日志》杂志分发。在774名受访者中，95%的人表示在飞机上眼睛会有一些不适。值得注意的是，佩戴和不佩戴隐形眼镜的人都报告了类似的眼部问题。报告中最常见的眼部问题是结膜发红和眼睛干涩。受访者指出，吸烟是导致眼部症状最明显的因素。文中讨论了飞机机舱环境，包括相对湿度、大气含氧量和臭氧浓度。由于航空乘客与空乘人员所处的飞机环境相同，他们可能也会出现类似的眼部问题。
