Hello everyone,
I wish to become a pilot for Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong and I face the same problem as eludlow. My vision is at -6D and since HK follows JAA standards, tough luck. Anyone know if laser surgery will be accepted by FAA or JAA soon? I certainly hope so.
As for hard contact lens, I have been wearing gas permeables for the last 10 years & they're very comfortable. The first time you try them, you'll not be use to it ... esp. if you've been wearing soft lens. But after a while, you won't even know they're there.
