Hi Leading Edge,

The only way you will know for sure is to ask them. But for your own sake you should get the opinion of a consultant optomologist as to how long your binocular vision will hold up as your (and everyone else’s) eyesight deteriorates over time.

Do you have amblyopia? i.e. is one eye lazy so that when you have both open, your stronger eye overrides the weaker one?

Do you have to wear glasses to attain binocular vision?

The class 1 standards state that you should have binocular vision but I cant remember if it states the level of it.

I failed a class 1 on the binocular bit. My weaker eye can be corrected to 20/20 but my strong eye can almost read the “Made in England” stamp on the bottom of the chart and so overrides the weaker one, even when corrected to the 20/20.

I have made an appointment with a specialist for a second opinion and would be interested in your experiences.
