March 14th 2008! And wrote to CAA 2 months afterwards - to which they replied they won't see me until 3 months had passed and that they would like me to arrange a visit around 3 months post operatively asking for EYES first as well as ensuring my visit was on the same day as the Consultant Visiting Ophthalmologist was on site in case i needed an extra examination (at £100 more!!)
Luckily for me my operation was so successful that my vision is now as near to perfect as it can get therefore I passed all tests and did not need to see the ophthalmologist consultant
Hope this helps
