Its already in which basically means you have to return to your license country to get it renewed.

Licence and renewals are not a problem for me - I still have to start flight training and I exceed the limit of astigmatism (more than 2 dioptres). Thanks!
Is the monocular visus (one eye, not both) requirement still 6/9 and binocular visus 6/6?
Unlikely in the old JAR-FCL 3, these details are not mentioned in EASA Part-MED.

Page 25 or 38 of the above document, depending on class 1 or 2.

6/9 and 6/6 are not mentioned, that's why I was wondering...

In JAR-FCL 3 there's a part that says:

Quote:
Visual acuity must be with or without correction 6/9 or more in each eye and binocular visual acuity 6/6 or more. No limits must be applied to uncorrected visual acuity.
Oh, I want to ask another question: is it possible to wear contact lenses during the examination?
I ask this because sometimes I feel more comfortable with contact lenses and with my left eye, which requires an correction for astigmatism of more than 2 dioptres (-2,75 if contact lenses; -3 dioptres if spectacle).

EASA Website Total Nightmare

Hi Red bull

Thanks for highlighting the difficultly in navigating the EASA website. .. It really is very complex & unnecessary.... Think a new thread is in order
