In the CAA Documentation it states an initial limit of -6 diopteres and astigmatism of 2.0.

I seem to remember that to get the total Diopter limit you had to add half the astigmatism? Can anyone confirm if this is correct.

Do the CAA now separate Dioptere limit and astigmatism or are the two still combined.

I believe I can now meet the new requirements for a Class 1 . Can anyone confirm?

Thanks
Hi folks !

Yes normally you should be right

- 5.75 + 2.00= -3.75
