Whether you are looking to apply for your pilot’s license or are currently an active pilot, a yearly eye exam is essential to ensure optimal vision for flying.

FAA Medical Certification requires 20/20 distance vision in both eyes for First and Second Class license. Other requirements include good color vision, peripheral vision, and healthy eyes. If you do have an existing eye condition, you are not disqualified from getting your medical license. Rather, further examination and documentation will be needed in order to obtain medical clearance.

Our doctors are very knowledgeable about all the vision skills required for safe flying. There are a multitude of visual cues that a pilot must look for throughout the course of a flight. Some prime examples are signs on the runway, lights from the tower or other planes, and scanning of the horizon and landscape.

If you will be applying for your medical license, first schedule an eye exam with us to ensure your vision is acceptable to pass. Medical practitioners recommended a comprehensive eye exam with dilation as the standard of care. Our doctors are well versed in the necessary FAA regulations regarding vision and special eye conditions.

My first eye exam in fifteen years. I am so thankful that I found Insight Vision Center. Dr. Lam and staff made me feel like a welcome guest. My eye exam revealed very minor blurriness and Dr. Lam did not pressure me into purchasing eyewear for a condition not necessitating glasses… yet. Maybe next year? I am getting older. They took my VSP insurance. Yay!

Dr. Lam and staff are amazing. Every phone call or interaction is friendly. You can feel the smiles and joy over whatever mode of communication you are interacting with them. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable and helps you to better understand everything that is going on with your eyes. She made me aware of potential problems I may have with my eyes and walked me through every step of the process. She helped me understand the various factors that could be causing my vision to be a little impaired and followed up with me as I had to see an ophthalmologist. Great team, great office.
