Can someone tell me if the requirements found on this webpage are still valid?
http://www.atc.lu/local/L4.pdf
If the answer is yes, could someone explain me what makes astigmatism so "bad" and there are more strick limits compared to other refractive errors? (Any chance for changes in near future
)?
"At initial examination, an applicant
with a refractive error with an astigmatic
component, the astigmatism shall not exceed
2.0 dioptres."
At revalidation or renewal there is no limit?
"At revalidation or renewal, an applicant
with an astigmatic component may be
considered fit by the AMS subject to a
satisfactory report from an ophthalmologist
acceptable to the AMS."
Thank you in advance
