Had an appointment with an opthamologist at the CAA in gatwick last month did a full JAR medical and never had anything put in my eye. Done medicals in various places around the world and never had this test , so why is it required in the UAE? Has anyone ever had this done for a medical anywhere else? Perhaps it is not actually not necessary but someone in the GCAA has it round their necks!
Probably someones brother owns the eye specialists, and it is just a revenue collecting exercise....
It is about time that the company books meds for us well in advance they can book the opthamologist on the same day and put it on our roster as a med...this way no-one has a problem getting appointments.
