Understood.

I far from feel that i'm am owed the opportunity. And consider safety first, for me, passengers and employers.

As the statistics say its safer to be aboad a plane that in a car... surely that must mean the eyesight regulations for a driving license should be more regulated than that of a commercial airline pilot?

When the 'chips' are down a pilot with corrected/aided vision is no more inadequate than a pilot with grade A vision. (As long as he/she has a spare pair of specs!)

Fatigue in the eyes of a able visioned person is just as dangerous and more common - medically proven.
