Refractive Lens Exchange
I recently had an eye exam with one of the laser outfits who said they could restore glasses-free sight by refractive lens exchange - same procedure as for cataracts but inserting a multifocal lens. I checked EASA FCL-Med and the procedure is completely forbidden. As a retired pilot still practising as a part-time instructor, it's not the end of the world for me but it might be relevant to younger colleagues. I know that our now defunct CAA Medical Department was notoriously conservative with 'new' eye stuff such as contact lenses and varifocals but it does seem to me that allowing a clear lens for cataracts but not a clever one for sight correction is slightly bizarre. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has been down this route.
