draining on the eyes. The cabin is kept at 7% humidity during the flight, which is dryer than the Sahara Desert. Fortunately, I have my Optimis7 eye drops to keep my eyes moist during the ﬂight out and less irritated when looking into the perpetual sunset. Claroxan also helps when I return to LAX. I usually arrive right before sunrise, so my night vision has to be keen. There is heavy trafﬁc coming into and out of LAX. So, it is important to be able to pick up visual trafﬁc to orient myself for trafﬁc pattern entry. One morning, returning to LAX after the long ﬂight from HNL, I was cleared to land on runway 7L. On ﬁnal approach, I spotted an aircraft on the runway. It had been cleared for takeoff, but hadn’t started moving yet. As an airline pilot, you always look for options. I could go around, which would cost the airline unnecessary gas money and cause an unnecessary delay. Or, I could execute a sidestep maneuver and land on 7R. I advised the tower of the situation and asked if we could side-step and land on 7R. The controller okayed my suggestion and we landed safely and earlier than anticipated. This move saved 1,000 pounds of fuel and saved the passengers any undue delays. I have to say that taking Claroxan helped me pick up that aircraft on the runway much quicker, giving me more time to weigh my options and make a sound decision.

Roger is also an AOPA member. The 57-year-old California resident has been using Claroxan™ — the once-daily tablet for vision improvement — for ﬁve years, and is thrilled with the results he has seen. In addition to Claroxan, he uses Optimis7 eye drops. Paciﬁc Health recently spoke with Roger, and he shared his success using Claroxan. Aviation Medical Exams I started using Claroxan for peace of mind. I take my AME every six months to renew my ﬁrst class medical and continue to receive 20/20 on the vision portion, which astounds my examiner. He asks me how I do it and I say, “In addition to a healthy lifestyle, I take Claroxan daily.” On the Job I ﬂy the LAX – HNL (or surrounding islands) – LAX route. During the entire ﬂight out to Hawaii, I endure “perpetual sunset,” which can be quite

“Flying is a major part of my life. But my visual acuity was getting worse and worse. So I decided to try Claroxan. I’ve been using Claroxan for about ﬁve years now. I just turned the big 6-0 and my eyes are in fantastic shape.”
