It has been the policy of the Federal Aviation Administration to medically certify individuals, for a variety of flying privileges, who have a medical deficiency or disease, provided it can be determined that such action does not compromise air safety. During recent years, for example, standards have been relaxed with respect to contact lens use an

Observations on the airline pilot group probably come as close to a true reflection of incidence of disqualifying disease as is possible to observe. Prescreening by airline companies before employment and the FAA's requirements for issuance of a first-class medical certificate result in this group's being essentially purged of a disease prevalence
