Amblyopia - Lazy Eye

Hi there

I have had this condition since I was a kid. It means that my right eye is all blurred. I have contacted the CAA about it and they said to get a letter from a opthamologist to state that it does not affect my day to day ability to do things like drive - and that my peripheral vision is not affected (which it isn't - in fact, the opt said it was above average.

They said that if I had had it since birth that my brain has learned to compensate for it over the past thirty years.

Anyway, before I send these docs (no pun intended) to Gatwick - do any of you know piot's who have this condition and are allowed to fly?

Thanks folks
