i'm just surprised....
Opthalmologist >>> media abnormal (is he a fluke??? but he is CASA DAO)
Aviation Physician(Malaysia Class-1-initial-valid till january 2007) >>>>> normal media
hmm...
well.. it wouldn't be wise for me to ring up CASA. i'm from Malaysia. it'll cost me a fortune if the conversation gets very long...
i hope someone in pprune who has a refractive error similar to mine and holds an Australian Class-1 could come and clarify...
because there is CERTAINLY no diopter Limit..
and i believe UKCAA allows +/- 5D sphere +/- 2D cylinder (both of which i'm well within)
and guess what.. the Opthalmologist said i won't Qualify for UK CAA either??!!! he is a Designated Aviation Opthalmologist by CASA.
all he said was the correction needed.. no mention of media at all!!
