Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the types of ophthalmic diseases affecting the crew and the distribution of ophthalmic diseases across departments on an aircraft carrier, and analyze the causes of the diseases, so as to provide reference for further eye care measures for aircraft carrier crew.Methods:Medical records of the Department of Ophthalmology of the Medical Center on the aircraft carrier from May 2020 to July 2020 were analyzed, and the number of patients, disease distribution across departments, and types of ophthalmic diseases were collected.Results:A total of 97 patients visited the Department of Ophthalmology, including 74 men and 23 women. The top three departments based on the number of patients were Ship Affairs Dept. (36, 37.11%), Electrical and Mechanical Dept. (22, 22.68%) and Administration Dept. (19, 19.59%). The top three diseases based on the incidence rates were dry eye syndrome (30, 30.93%), conjunctivitis (28, 28.87%), and meibomian gland dysfunction (19, 19.59%).Conclusion:The prevention and treatment of ophthalmic diseases in the aircraft carrier environment should mainly involve emphasizing eye health education, upgrading the cabin lighting and ventilation system, carrying out more medical visits, and providing targeted treatment for departments with a high incidence rate of ophthalmic diseases.
