As a pilot facing the initial Class One and someone who admittedly knows very little about optics, does that mean that my -4.75 glasses prescription and -3.75 contact prescription are pretty nonsensical? It's bloody hard trying to work out whether you conform to the CAA's criteria.

Regardless of what strength my glasses or contacts are, does this mean that my eyesight is measured on other grounds instead?

Please explain! Your answers will be received with gratitude.
