Smile Class 1 med and Lasik.

If anyone is interested,I had Lasik surgery at the end of December and I went for my Class 1 med in April. The opthalmic doctor tested my eyes and he was quite impressed with the result of the proceedure.I could read the bottom line of the chart unaided with my left eye and the next line up with my right eye with slight correction from him.As for all the other tests he did with the eyes I passed them all,colour blindness etc.
They would'nt release the medical until there was a year post op,but the chief med doctor said there wouldn't be much of a problem after the year if the re-test was ok.
Also he said there was no problem flying with a current Class 2 med........So I am flying ppl - P1 !!!
