Abstract：Objective To explore the abnormal spectra detected during ophthalmic selections of students from teenager aviation schools in Northeast China.Methods A total 173 students in Northeast China who were eliminated during Air Force recruitment medical selections in 2015-2020 were selected to analyze the abnormal spectra of ophthalmic diseases.Results A comparison of the rates of elimination due to ophthalmic diseases over the six years suggested that the percentage was over 50％.The analysis of the proportion of various diseases eliminated in ophthalmology showed that the diseases eliminated in ophthalmology in each year were mainly concentrated in fundus lesions and refractive errors,accounting for 35.40％(40/113)and 46.02％(52/113)respectively,and there was no statistically significant difference between the years(x2=4.372,3.881,P=0.497,0.567).Peripheral retinal degeneration was the main cause of retinal diseases(P=0.137)while myopia that exceeded the permitted level was the chief contributor to refractive errors(P=0.623).The changes of the spherical degree were the main manifestation in myopia that exceeded the permitted level(F=3.968,P=0.006).Conclusion Peripheral retinal degeneration and refractive errors are the major reasons that candidate from teenager aviation schools are eliminated ophthalmologically,and refractive errors mostly manifest themselves as myopia that exceeds the permitted level.
