Please Help!!!
has anyone got any idea on the following...
I failed CAA class 1 medical last Feb in Gatwick. I am long-sighted and the restrictions go to +5 dioptres; my left eye is +5.5 and my right eye is +6. needless to say I failed the medical.
I have been advised by pilots that I work with to go down the surgical route but the CAA say that they WILL NOT accept this and that they WILL be able to tell if i have had the surgery. Also it is not guaranteed to work as I am long sighted the results of eye surgery for such cases are alot less proven and because I am quite far in long-sighted terms it will cost up to £3,000 PER EYE.
I have heard random people talking about eye exercises which I am about to start but any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I am 25 and this is and has been my dream. I want it so much and possibly even more so now that there is this obsticle. I can see fine with my glasses on but as per usual the CAA are having none of it.......
