Hello...
My prescription is well over the -5 limit (its more like -6 in total, including the astigmatism). Hence, I am considering having Ortho-K aswell.

What I would like to know is whether the CAA can detect whether you have had Ortho-K or not.

Since I have quite dodgy eyes, I cannot be fully corrected with the lenses (the website states up to -4 works well I think) which means I may still be left with a -1 or-2 prescription. Would I therefore be able to go to the CAA with glasses of this strength?

I'm still at uni at the moment, and like everyone else with this problem, hope the CAA will revert to the FAA standards soon, but in the meantime, I have to consider other options !! (laser, Ortho-K, eye replacements, etc )

letsflyuk2000.....don't give up mate !!! There's got to be a way around it somehow

Best wishes

CP
