Good morning,
I sat my Class 1 initial 5 weeks ago, on the day my eyesight was deemed to be 6/9 which was news to me as I see to 6/6 with correction. The AME on the day advised me to get reports from experts and sent them in to him.
The following day i was extremely lucky to get an appointment with one of the UK's leading eye surgeons who found issues with how the test was carried out, and secondly even with eyedrops effecting my eyesight 24 hours later i was able to 6/6. I had my own GP verify this, my optometrist also carried out the CAA eye exam as shown on downloadable page on the CAA website. Again, my visual acuities showed to be 6/7.5 in each eye and 6/6.
I forwarded all this information on and after many weeks was told, this was not good enough and i'd to appeal the decision. I have to inform a well known surgeon in ophthalmology his opinion and his 25 years of experience has been undermined and his professionalism bought into question.
He was extremely helpful and I believe he knows someone who sits on the CAA board regards appeals, what should i expect?
Do I need any more opinions?, every eye test I've ever done has showed up to be 6/6 :ugh: The consultant i have is extremely helpful, i've no doubts he will be on to the CAA personally.
