Having had a Lasik 3 years ago, pre op was +5.75 and +4, I now have perfect vision.
I was aware 0,75 outside the limit on my left eye would be a problem. And today told me that I was classified unfit for class 1 medical because of my pre op condition.
These was the JAR rules, and now exceptions possible! Accept one option.
Gain a commerical license in another country who is not member of JAR, Australia or USA, and they will 99% issue a class 1 medical.
I do qualify for FAA class 1 medical, so would mean first doing FAA IR and Commerical license, then return UK and get a class 1 medical.
However I it is amazing to see the logic of this, unfit - but also fit! I have to say this is very disapointing and makes you wonder, what is the risk of going me or others in my situation a class 1 medical, so I could do the training here in the UK in my own pace.
