Please tell me you are talking about the British CAA? are you? do they allow -5 dioptres as a limit , rather than -3 dioptres which it used to be?
Would they allow someone with better than -5 dioptres to be issued with a class 1 medical if it WAS NOT a RE-ISSUE but an initial issue?
im very interested in this because my worst eye is -3 dioptres: right on the border line and this is the first ive heard of it being turned into -5.
