Mazzy he has amblyopia it means that he can not correct his vision to 20/20.

Anyway pilot16 if it will make you feel better. I have also amblyopia but very little. I can read the line below 6/6 almost 6/6.
I have now a ATPL with 1600hours. I had problems getting my medical myself. The CAA in my country would'nt let me fly because I did not have "fine stereopsis". But this requirements has been taken away since its useless for aviation.

But you got me a bit nervous. Are they so stringent in CAA uk.
would be nice to hear from others.

I have noticed that the eye charts varies alot between optrician.
Also the background light.
