Does that mean that if I'm 19 and my near-sightedness is borderline but still within requirements (-5.00 in one eye and -3.5 in the other) I can still fail the medical because of my age and the prospect of "getting worse"?
Your optitician might be able to give you an educated guess on if your eyesight will deteriorate, although I have no idea what the Class 1 Med examiner would say.
I'm assuming you already have this info, but the sepcifications are found here if not.
