Class 1 Medical

Hi All,
I'm 16 and recently started flying lessons. After school I hope to pursue a career in aviation as a pilot...1 problem...my eyes.

I am on the border - Here are the results from a recent ophthamologist exam:

Vision:
Right with +5.00 DS is 6/6
Left with +4.50 DS is 6/6

Colour vision - Normal with isihara in each eye

Cover Test - No phoria with glasses

Alternating cover test - Small esophoria mesauring 5 dioptres

Field of Vision (Humphrey's) - Normal (with a copy)

Fundoscopy - Normal each eye

Now I don't really know what all that means but maybe someone out there might decipher it please? Also as an ophthamologist is of a higher "rank" persay than a doctor in terms of the eye will the doctor doing the medical look at my results and say "okay he knows best and has wriiten and signed it" (my ophthamologist is known throughout Ireland by eye specialists and doctors) or will they say "no we're doing it again and what we say goes"? All advice and answers will be gladly appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Fireoff
