I just would like to point out that the legislation even in the JAA states is NOT always the same. I will give you an example:
The German JAR-FCL 3 'Medicals' is supposedly writting i.a.w. the JAR 3 regulations. Even in the foreword it states 'This is a translation of the original ...'
But if you have a closer look (no pun intended
at the EYE section, you would find that most eye surgerys are EXCLUDED from being approved! Currently in Germany you can get only have an excemption permit after a PRK Laser treatment - one year after the surgery - of course
So if we have any ppl from outside the UK, just beware to check the facts in your country once more.
All the best,
