corneal graft

Has anyone had one of these in to the middle of their career (Transport Jet Captain) and still flying by FAA or Transport Canada medical standards? Or, does anyone know of someone flying with a substandard vision in one eye(and do you know what limitations that creates)? I have a ahem... 'friend' who is correctable in the right eye to a high standard (20/10 corrected and 20/40 uncorrected) but a left eye that is barely making 20/30 to 40 corrected now. It used to be 20/25-30 corrected and required some ophthalmologist's reports a long time ago to issue the medical. The North American standards seem to 20/30 corrected as the minimum. We're talking mainly about an injury at a young age to the left eye and its giving problems later in life.
