Class 1
Dear All
Yesterday I went to Gatwick to have my class 1 done, however there was a question on my eyesight because I have an astigmatism in both eyes, one of 2D and one of 3D. So in the medical they said to have my eyes tested first. After waiting for around three hours, they told me they could not continue my medical any further due to their machine making me 3.5 in the in one eye. I have my PPL with flight time of 55 hrs, with hopes of starting ground school in January. I was thinking about having LASIK surgery which they said at the medical might be a possibility but did not say as I suspected that I would be gaurenteed at medical if the procedure was successful. Any advice on my current situation would be greatly appreciated.
