| Popis: | Air transport is the most dynamically developing branch of transport and the number of services provided by civil aviation is increasing from year to year. However, the conditions in the passenger cabin during the flight differ from those on the ground. The aim of this report is to discuss how the changed environment in the cabin affects the visual system, where eye disorders can cause or exacerbate existing ones and in which diseases traveling by air is contraindicated. Air traveling is generally safe for most passengers with eye diseases, but may cause exacerbation of some diseases of the eye and is contraindicated after some vitreoretinal operations and in the case of ischemic changes of the retina and optic nerve. |
