hi all
many, many thanks for your advice. i have just been to have my eyes tested (they are extremely healthy in terms of muscles, etc.) and did a little CVD test witht he Ishihara. i could see the majority of the plates, but failed a couple. she said i had a very small deficiency. she advised me to get in touch with the Institute of Optometry in London (elephant & castle to be exact). they do a full CVD investigation for £50. so it looks like ill go to this first rather than being 'stupid' at going straight to the CAA.
for more information on the IOO, head to
Institute of optometry, optometry courses.
my question here is....
if you go here (IOO) and pay for the full report (sounds likes it more thorough that at the CAA) would the CAA take note of this report and therefore no need to do a CVD investigation at Gatwick??
Many thanks for your time again
