Each subject was instructed in emergency removal of their lenses and must be able to remove both lenses within an adequate time period before being allowed to fly with them. Every subject must meet the Air Force's visual standard of 20/20 acuity in both eyes with their soft lenses.

Visual acuity with spectacles upon immediate removal of the lenses is another item of concern to the Air Force that will be monitored closely. We are also monitoring DNIF (duties TABLE 1 Questionnaire Items Analyzed Following Aircrew Use of Contact Lenses Comfort Displacement/dislodgement ~ .

PRELIMINARY RESULTS The overall subjective response to soft contact lens wear by aircrew members has been very positive. In interviews with crew members the major advantage of soft contact lens wear during operations reportedly is increased peripheral vision when "checking six" (i.e., when a pilot throws his head and eyes back to check for a target)
