Eyesight- floaters.

[solo16]

Does anyone know if floaters will pose a problem in gaining a class 1 caa med certificate for atpl?

I did my initial JAA class I in January and there was no test to quantify the impact that any floaters may have on the quality of my vision, and there was certainly no section for it on the declaration form. However, I think that if medic see lots of floaters while doing the routine retina check then they will probably want to know why. I have a annoying transparent 'amoebae' type floater in one eye and I passed all the tests with no problem.
