Class 1 Initial UK - Retina
I am due to start my PPL in a few months and I have a class 1 medical initial booked in a couple of weeks time.
I recently visited an opticians and they discovered a small tear in the retina inside my right eye. Just got back from a specialist and they have referred me to see a consultant. The hole may not need attention yet but the consultant will know better whether or not it requires laser correction.
So now I have an issue. Does the AME in my class 1 medical check the inside of my eyes? Will this create an issue for me passing my medical? I've heard it is serious if you fail a medical as it does not look good to future employers.
I do have 20/20 (6/6) vision, no colour blindness or any issues with my eyesight apart from requiring glasses/contact lenses.
Even if I pass my medical and will need laseer correction, will I need to declare this and book a check up with an AME?
Thank you for any advice!
