Thank you very much for that information, it's good to hear a success story once in a while.
I hate to say it, but many commercial pilots seem to look down with disdain at anyone who does not have perfect eyesight and has to resort to eyeglasses. There are many factors involved in being medically fit to fly and eyesight is only one of them. I have always enjoyed perfect health in all other respects, unlike many CPLs I have known, who have a host of other medical issues to deal with, but somehow it is always eyesight that seems to be talked about the most.
I fly in the some of the busiest airspace in the world around Los Angeles and have often asked myself; what would I see if I had had a Class 1 or 2 medical that I don't see right now with my Class 3? What would I need to see that I can't see now?? How much safer would I be or my passengers if I had 20/20 in my "bad" eye instead of 20/40 since I alway (duh...) fly with both eyes open (at 20/20)?
Thanks again for taking the time to relate your experience.
