Class 1 failed due to occular muscle imbalance
Hello guys, ive moved recently in uk to do my atpl, but failed my class 1 due to eye issue (Exophoria), 3-4 months ago. Becoming an airline pilot was my dream since childhood and failing the medical and knowing that i cannot become a commercial pilot is the worse thing ever. Evreything with my eyes is fine i have: full field of vision, no astigmatism,no cornea abnormality, Im myopic but whitnin the limits. Than they told me that i have exophoria outside the limits. I have 20 diopters from far and 35 from near but i dont have double vision or eye fatigue, i even dont know all my life that i had this problem and any of my opticians never informed me about this.
The CAA suggested me to visit their specialist wich ive done he was surprised with my fusional reserves he told me that my fusional reserves are too strong that i dind get diplopia even with 30 prism base out (Prism fusion test) but he failed anyways me because he thinks that there is 20% chance that i can get double vision in later years. I was devastated and still iam. ive seen different opthalmologist, optometrist and etc All of them disagree with the decision of the CAA consultant becuase my fusional reserves are too strong and the chance of getting diplopia in future is ZERO.
The JAR says if i exceed the phoria limits but i have enough fusional reserves to prevent diplopia or asthenopia a fitness assesment should be considered for class 1. So than I have appealed to the CAA for secondary review but i dont know if that will be helpful.
I can have a faa class 1 and when i knowed that i can get a FAA class 1 i was very happy but then i found that a FAA class 1 will not be helpfull unless i can work in the USA.
So now i have few question to evreyone in this forum who are very helpful.
1. Is the FAA Atpl and medical valid in other countreys like middle east or etc ?
2. Can i re do the EASA class 1 medical anywhere elese in europe ?
3. is there any possible way to fly as pilot in airlines with this problem Exophoria ?
i dont want to give up on my dream. Sorry for my bad english :P
