Class 1 CAA with dodgy left eye?
Hi everyone.
Going through the stages of trying to get a Class 1 (not hopeful but worth a shot), and had my eye exam today. Right eye is ok, 6/5 but my left eye is 6/7.8 which I understand is approaching the limit for Class 1 certification. I was very shocked as at my last exam at 18 years old I had greater than 6/6 vision in both eyes.
I’m concerned now that my eyesight may deteriorate further resulting in future loss of any Class 1 that I may obtain.
Has anyone who’s flying commercially has similar issues at the tender age of 23? Do visual issues like this tend to get worse, and would my eyesight be considered dangerously close to being out of limits?
Many thanks in advance.
