Hi,
I've already emailed this question to the CAA medical division but wondered if anyone else has undergone the same procedure.
I have a slight alternating exotropia, which I've had since I was a child. It doesn't affect my vision (apart from the loss of stereopsis) and I have 20/20 vision in each eye with no correction needed, and no diplopia and complete suppression of the non-fixating eye. I'm going to get this fixed in the next couple of weeks - it's a simple operation done as an outpatient and is solely for cosmetic reasons, although it's estimated I'll recover a bit of stereo vision.
No problems with depth perception except when catching balls, and I'm tempted to suggest that's my cack-handedness at ballgames rather than a depth perception issue...
I'm concerned that the CAA has removed the "No stereopsis required" clause from their website - does this mean that they do in fact now require it (obviously a problem!) or is it gone to avoid confusion?
I'll update this post if and when I get a reply from the CAA.
Cheers,
David.
