problem.....maybe!

Hello everyone!

i have just had a preliminary eye test in france and the optometrist, who is an approved ame for the french caa told me that because i have an uncorrectable amblyopia (lazy) in my right eye, i would be refused a french class one medical.

he told me that the bristish caa would more than likely refuse me also. he said that it was a real shame because my left eye is 6/6, my binocular vision is 6/6 and all of the other tests he did on both eyes were perfect!

can anyone tell me why this amblyopia is a problem. even the optometrist agreed that it is a little unfair.

is there any way around this?

please help - i'm gutted at the moment.
