At my last eye test, I was shown not to have binocular vision. I don't notice this ever and have successfully attained my Class 2. I don't have double vision either and am able to work on things up close.
With a Brock string, I am able to see a cross at the first bead (does this suggest I have at least some stereopsis?)
I appreciate only my AME will be able to definitively rule me out but would anyone with experience in this be able to tell me whether I stand a chance at attaining my Class 1?
Cheers!
I’m in a similar position albeit my right eye is worse than your worst eye. Applied for class 1, was referred and issued a class 2 via the substandard vision in one eye route. Now going through the secondary review process. The thing I have learnt, is no two situations are the same… I searched high and low for someone in a similar position to come up with nothing. You will probably end up having to have a further eye assessment with a specialist in aviation ophthalmology to rule out any other underlying issues.
Best of luck.
