Findings demonstrate slower presbyopia progression in pilots, suggesting visual demands and health practices matter.
Civilian pilots aged 40 and above may experience delayed onset or slower progression of presbyopia. These findings suggest that aviation-related visual demands and proactive ocular health practices might mitigate presbyopia development. Further research is needed to validate these findings and assess long-term occupational visual influences.
