Class 1 Medical renovation.

Hi guys,

I have my Class 1 Medical renovation in less than two weeks and I'm getting really worried about my vision. I'm going to do the renovation at the Iberia Medical Centre in Barajas and I need some advice.

According to the website on Fomento, the limit is +3/-5 dioptres and/or 2 dioptres of astigmatism, however on my Class 1 Medical certificate is says "Refractive error +3 to +5 or -3 to -6". Recently, perhaps I have been studying too much, I felt the need to change my glasses and when I went to my optician in both eyes my vision had got worse exceeding slightly the limits.

Can someone please confirm me the limits on refractive and astigmatism errors for the Class 1 Medical renovation?

Are they really strict on these limits?

Right now I have the choice to either change my glasses to the stronger prescription (and hope for the best) or keep the older prescription (with which I did pass my Initial Class 1 Medical).

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
