HD, perhaps I was unclear with "so as to not miss anything looking at a monitor/radar screen or standing at a tower" apart from the fact it should be "...standing in a tower." I have absolutely no issue with there being certain rigorous requirements, I´m just curious to why my level of nearsightedness ten years ago is more or of equal importance than my current level of sight. I will obviously take the medical and ask any questions there, so as I mentioned originally, take this post as a bit of venting of nervous energy coupled with curiosity if anyone has had the same issue but was allowed to go on to training anyway or if the national organizations always follow the standards to the letter.
I missed the Medical forum, thanks for the hint, will go there and look for info, I´m sure it´s not the first time the issue has surfaced.
Later.
