Refraction Surgery?
Hi all,
Currently Im 18 with -1.00 dioptres and 1.75 in my left and right eye respectively.
I realise this is okay and well below the limits for a Class 1 Medical. However I do fear that within the next 2-3 years, I could very well be on the border of the requirments. Im worried that I could be just finishing getting my ATPL,IR, etc and then find that I might fail the visual requirments of the Class 1. If that were to happen I would certainly be looking into getting refractive surgery done.
Has anyone had this done in the past or is going to get it done soon? I see Tiger Woods got laser surgery done to him many years ago and he seems to still able to pick out those greens as good as he did when he was short sighted. Is it best to go to the USA to get it done? Is it expensive, anyone know any web-sites on it, etc?
Basically any advice, tips, info, etc would be really appreciated.
Best wishes,
Turbsy
