had PRK done about 16 months ago, could not do lasik due to my cornea being too thin with my prescription so went PRK and the new procedure wasn't out back then.

I had it done at Laser Sight Centre in Parramatta-Sydney.

20/20 is equivalent to 6/6 in Oz. 20/20 is in feet where 6/6 is metres. That is regarded as perfect vision but is not the smallest on an eye chart, it is actually the 3rd smallest.

In Oz, it goes right down from 6/6 to 6/5 then 6/4.

Happy to report that since one month of the procedure i'm 6/4 on each eye individually.

No probs with CASA for me. I actually did the PRK procedure and waited 3 months before i even started to fly and 6 months to do my very first class 1 medical.

Great to hear some other success stories. I spent many hours searching and reading online forums about info for laser correction and aviation as I did not want to kill my dream of flying.

cheers
