Hi all,
I am currently the holder of a JAR Class 2 medical.
I am looking at doing my ATPL theory soon, but my eyesight is preventing me.
My refractive dioptres are within the -6/+5 limit at +0.50L/+2.25R.
However the visual acuity is slightly out in my right eye. The limits for this are at least 6/9 in each eye separately and 6/6 both eyes combined.
My left eye is 6/5 however my right eye is 6/10 after correction. Together my eyes are corrected to 6/5.
I am looking into the possibilities that I have and one of them is LASIK. However, the CAA says that some aspects do not allow you to undergo corrective surgery to get you within the limits. Does anyone know if this applies to the initial refractive error (-6/+5) alone, or the visual acuity as well?
