hello,
i am at college studying for A-levels. my dream is (and has been for a long time) to become a plot although due to my eyesight i remain unsure whether this is a worthwhile career in pursuing.
having looked alot into vision requirements i have deduced that my eyesight is within the limits set out by the CAA and that visually i would pass the JAR class 1 medical.
although this is the case i havent heard of anyone being accepted onto programmes such as ctc, cabair, oaa etc. with any kind of visual impairment.
i would basically like to know if wearing glasses/contacts would put me at a disadvantage amongst other candidates at obtaining a place or if it would put me at a disadvantage in getting future employment.
if this was to be the case, would laser surgery solve any problems if i were to have my eyes corrected before applying
thanks
p.s. sorry if this has posted somewhere rediculous as i am new to pprune
