Hi Guys,
Hope Im not flogging a dead horse with this thread...
I got diagnosed with KC in Feb 2018. It came as quite a surprise, I am almost finished my ICAO CPL, problem is I haven't done my Class 1 medical yet. I did let my AME know of my diagnoses and he said It shouldn't be a problem as long as each eye is 20/30 or better and binocular vision is 20/20. Problem is KC is a degenerative eye disorder as many of you know...
I am seriously considering going for Collagen Cross linking, would any of you vouch for the procedure? Or do the threats outweigh getting the procedure done?
I have also heard of Intac rings which can be inserted on the cornea. Is this procedure disqualifying for a class 1?
I really hope someone can help me as I'm stressing at the possibility of my flying career being cut short
Thanks
James
