the risk of your medical being taken away anytime!

Recently I have practically inundated the Medical Forum with my posts!

I have had some difficulties in obtaining the Class 1 with the CAA then with the IAA. Now it appears that I am getting somewhere.

I am told by the IAA that my right eye best corrected is 6/9.

Now if I fulfill my dream to becomming a pilot, any minute deterioration from 6/9 will result in my medical being taken away and me grounded from earning a living.

This is a risk to take and I am very worried since I am still to spend thousands of pounds in training.

Anyone else in my boat?
