I know this high myopia usually results in being "referred to the medical assessor of the licensing authority and may be assessed as fit subject to a satisfactory ophthalmological evaluation" so hopefully all is well as according to my ophthalmologist I've healthy eyes!
Just curious if any other pilots have been through this process of being referred and if there are any issues I should be aware of?
If this helps. I and roughly -6.00 in both eyes and passed my class 1 this week without any issue or referral. My distance vision was the only concern I had and I checked with the AME… he said as long as each eye + together can be corrected to the requirement then you should pass (which was true in my case).
