Apologies, didn't mean to say you didn't, just spoken to a number of people who jump to the conclusion that laser surgery is the answer to getting a class 1.

Can anyone advise if this is ok for an Initial Class One,
Sorry, but these numbers mean very little too me, and I’ve taken the data of a written prescription I had.
From a
brief glance they look fine for a Class 1 but do not take my word for it..see an optemetrist who is familiar with the requirements for aviation and can explain it all properly. But at the end of the day its down to the CAA to give the yay or nay. I had a friend who never wore glasses but got turned down on a rare condition that precluded him from a Class 1 so its never a given until you have the piece of paper in your hand.
