Vision Advice
Alright heres the deal. I am 16 years old, live in Ontario and plan to go to an aviation university program (UWO, Waterloo) My vision is as follows;
UNCORRECTED - Right: 20/400 Left: 20/400
CORRECTED - Right: 20/20 Left: 20/20
REFRACTIVE ERROR - Right:-4.75D Left:-6.50D
ASTIGMATISM - Right: -1.75D Left:-0.50D
I understand that I am well beyond the vision requirements for a category 1 medical. And probably a bit too young to have LASIK or PRK done quite yet. So i guess what i'm really asking is should i go for the eye surgery anyway and hope for the best? which surgery do you recommend? if not, are there any other solutions for this problem?
Thanks in advance, and any advice is greatly appreciated.
P.S. If your advice to me is to give up, then please save yourself some time and don't post, i am determined to fly commercially one day and will find a solution no matter what it takes. thanks.
