Class 1 appeal and laser surgery

Hi everyone,

Having taken and failed my class 1 medical recently, I am devastated. I was failed on having excess anisometropia (difference between my eyes). I was just outside the initial limits, but inside the renewal, but gatwick failed me anyway. Is there an appeals procedure available, as my optometrist believes that I should have been passed. I have written to gatwick a number of times requesting a copy of my results for my optometrist to look at, but as yet have not recieved a reply - does anyone know if I have a right to recieve a copy ?

It also says in the medical section of the CAA website that there is no way that having laser surgery could help you to pass the medical that you would not have passed before, but in my case this is not true - do the CAA realise this ? Sorry for the long post, but I am so frustrated and confused at the minute. Any advice or suggestions much appreciated ! Thanks guys.
