more eye problems...

Ok, I'm currently aviation major in college and one of the prerequisites to sign up for the course is to pass a Class 1 medical. Which I did, but here is my question.

When went for my medical I felt they were a bit shoddy in their procedures, basically rushing me through to get my money...

I have a light Amblyopia in my left eye (lazy eye for the layman), although it is not really noticeable in day to day activities. I was wondering if anyone knew the eye requirements for the medical. I tried looking them up, but I didn’t really understand their medical mumbo-jumbo.

My basic concern is that college being ridiculously expensive (I'm paying about $40,000 per year everything included!!!) I don’t want to waste my money getting a CFI rating then be told that I can’t work.

The only thing I can think of is to go to a different doctor, but I didn’t really feel like shelling out another $120

Thanks
