Hi, I’m very sorry to hear that. I do have some information that may interest you. I’ve had my first appointment in the clinic in my home country where they do treat amblyopia using new futuristic methods, main one in this therapy is vivid vision. I can’t tell you right know if it works, beacuse I’m currently waiting for some special contact lens I had to order, but I’ll get back to you once I have more information. I would advise you to reaserch the topic of vivid vision therapy and maybe get an appointment for yourself, then you’ll see what they say to you. I was told by a doctor that he can’t promise me anything, and it will all turn out after first 3 months of therapy cuz every organism reacts differently. All the best!

I'm in the UK, and as far as I'm aware it's almost impossible to get a class 1, and there is no correctible surgery or medical device to fix my condition. I have read about contacting the FAA, but I am too young and broke to move to America by myself, and it would take a lot of planning and money. If there is anything at all that you or anyone else has found out and could help, it would be a massive jump in pursuing my career.
