Abstract:
Objective To investigate refraction surgery in Navy recruits from 2014 to 2015,so as to provide reference for the development of visual examination standards in navy recruitment.Methods A total of 4 190 Navy recruits were enrolled for the study.Before visual examination,a questionnaire survey was made on such medical indexes as modes of refraction surgery,the time of surgery,discomfort after surgery,etc.Scores were evaluated and statistical analysis of the obtained data was made.Results The 4 190 recruits who took part in the survey were from 12 provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government.In the 4 190recruits,650 once received refraction surgery before they entered the service,accounting for 15.5％.In the refraction surgery they received,most surgical procedures involved corneal stroma (87.6％) and corneal surface (12.4％).There were 285 cases that experienced discomfort after surgery,accounting for 43.8％.The types of discomfort were:sense of fatigue after reading (80 cases,accounting for 12.3％),decrease of night vision (43 cases,accounting for 6.6％),and glare (30 cases,accounting for 4.6％),double imaging (10 cases,accounting for 1.5％),and dry eye (122 cases,accounting for 18.8％).Conclusions Proper revision of the present visual examination standards could not only satisfy the demands on the knowledge and physics of military personnel under modern high-tech scenario,but exclude those prospective recruits with potential visual disorders and surgical complications from navy barracks.
