Hi guys!
Thanks to fad_k and SB for getting back on the eyesight reqs - now I officially know how I'm placed.
Being long sighted, I don't have the option of laser surgery (although I would for an FAA license), but I'm with SB and Tiger Moth on the risks and expense involved anyway.
Looks like I'm still over the proposed limit too then by 0.25 - bummer! Does anyone think its worth giving this Bates method a go as it even looks like I won't make the Class 2 - major bummer!
Also, did anyone see the article in April's "Flyer" (pg 45) on a new procedure called INTACS? This is where a plastic ring is inserted into the cornea to alter the shape - I guess a bit like having a contact lens fitted inside the eye. Apparently there's fewer risks than laser surgery and no interference to the optical pathway. One to consider in the future perhaps?
Thanks again
