Abstract

In 1996 the new European Flight Crew Medical Requirements were finalized. The ophthalmological changes compared to the existing German standards range from the organization of evaluations to the necessary frequency of examinations. They also cover different examination techniques and different criteria for fitness. The changes in the requirements for ophthalmological fitness primarily affect ametropia, anisometropia, color vision and phoria. Knowledge of the European requirements is very important to advise pilots and any patient interested in becoming a pilot.
