Thanks skyman and Blinkz

Blinkz, you have good corrected visual acuity.
Are you still fighting for the class one? Isnt there any methods of regaining full colour vision? How are you persuading the CAA for the Class 1?

Im 18 years old.

my prescription: RE VA 6/9 Spherical: +1.5D Cyl: 0.25D Axis: 180
LE VA 6/6 Spherical: 0D Cyl: 0.25D Axis: 180

the prescription is mild. The worry is that best correctad Right eye VA is 6/9 it does not improve to 6/6. A mild case of amblyopia, depth perception is good.

Like your self I love flying and will do anything for it. Infact, although I dont have the medical in hand yet, I have made the application for the ATPL course with the non-refundable deposit...all with high hopes for the medical to be granted (its been refused before)

Thanks for your highly valuable advise and encouragement.

Just missed Bealzebub\'s reply. Would I be correct to assume you are already a pilot and in the game?
