hi guys !
Read again the JAA medical subcommitee report on the CAA website .
They say that the JAA members have reached agreement for the +/- 5 dioptres rule , which means everybody in the JAA field gonna change it to the +/-5 rule .
There is no chance to see any change then before nov 2001 , as it takes quite a lot of time to implement these measures and this should be adopted by nov 2001 , when the ICAO adopt the " no limit refration error" .
It is unlikely we see a further change in the JAA regulations before a couple of years and to my opinion , it is unlikely the JAA vote for the no limit error anyway .
rest assured , the +/-5 dioptres rule is there for at least 10 years before the bureaucratic guys let the things happen !
The astigamistm limit is +/-2dioptres and gonna change to +/-3 dioptes for renewal which is good news , same for anisometropia .
do not worry u , wannabies , you gonna make it one day ! be patient !
