Item 51. Near and Intermediate Vision

For any class of medical certificate, when corrective lenses are required to meet any part or combination of visual acuity standards, the AME must add the following limitation to the medical certificate:

Must Use Corrective Lens(es) to meet vision standards
at all required distances

Note: As of 12/28/2022 the single, simplified visual acuity limitation replaces previous visual acuity limitations.

Contact lenses that correct only for near or intermediate visual acuity are not acceptable for aviation duties.
