Hello Tobago,
I got your very interesting feedback on FAA Professional Pilots flying with ortho-k undertaken. Do you have any news on how this therapy is considered under JAR regulations, and what does UK CAA say about that ?
In replying to the purpose of ortho-k, I can say that the purpose is to have more than a perfect vision during all day without wearing glasses or contacts. Infact you can get a little bit over the 20/20 limit with ortho-k (depends on your previous diopters), that should be a lot interesting for pilots who have to focus at the same time at the cockpit EFIS displays, and with the traffic which is miles and miles further away...
Anyway "cornea curvature abnormalities" are not implied in ortho-k therapy, so I guess that letsflyuk2000 was referring to a laser surgery, which certanly performs what they call "corneal aberrations".
Again, do you have any feedback on JAR regulations regarding ortho-k therapy ??
Any kind of help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
N2334M.
