Abstract: Objective: To analyze and summarize the causes of unqualified ophthalmology in civil aviation enrollment examination and the elimination of ophthalmic diseases, so as to provide reference for aviation health management departments and ophthalmologists. Method: A retrospective analysis was made of the medical examination data of 4620 high school graduates and college students who took part in the enrollment check-up in the Medical Examination Center of CAAC Flight College from 2018 to 2019. The causes of eye disqualification and the elimination of eye diseases were analyzed. Result: There were 4620 cases in ophthalmology, 1643 cases were unqualified, the elimination rate was 35.56%. The reasons for elimination were abnormal eye position (10.13%) (including dominant strabismus and recessive strabismus), excessive diopter (9.16%), retinochoroidal disease (6.67%) and lens and vitreous disease (3.38%). The elimination rate varies from 28.89% to 38.60% depending on the region. Conclusion: The elimination rate of ophthalmology in flying cadets is relatively high. Physicians should constantly sum up their experience from practice and "attach importance to function while neglecting form" to improve the qualified rate of Ophthalmology on the premise of ensuring flight safety.
