Hi guys,
I hate to be the bringer of bad tidings, but the CAA have another requirement which could scupper you if you have a lazy eye. If your "bad" eye is much weaker than your "good" eye, and has a difference of more than 2 dioptres, you will be failed in an initial Class 1. I have a difference of about 2.5 D, but my bad eye can be corrected to 6/4 - despite this, I was still denied a CAA class 1. I am now heading off to florida tomorrow to get round the CAA using the very accomodating and much more sensible FAA who do not have this restriction.
Best of luck to all of you !
