A very interesting read for me today.
For years I have been looking for either a way to better my eyesight or for the JAA/CAA to change the parametres for the visual standards.
Only a few hours ago I think I may have found the way...
This is my current prescription
Right:
Sph +0.75
Cyl - 6.75
Axis 25
Left:
Sph 0.50
Cyl -4.50
Axis 152.5
I had this test 3 weeks ago, the optician at the time recommended that to save myself a fortune on lenses in the future I should consider LASIK. Pilot ambition aside, I went along today and had the examination. They can do it - they can correct my vision entirely.
With my ambition in mind I have just tried working out the current LASIK limits for a Class 1 Medical.
The way I read it, I need a year under my belt before I will be considered for a medical, although if i've read my prescription correctly, I may be just outside on my pre refractive prescription.
Bottom line is I need the surgery, and will be getting it anyway. The funny thing is on Sat I am starting my first lesson for my NPPL.
Can anyone on here confirm my thoughts on my prescription?
Thanks in advance.
p.s, good luck with your ambition too docash1983
