Hi guys, its interesting to hear what people have been experiencing, but i have a question... i have a slight issue with astigmatism...
I wanted to know whether or not the guidlines meant that the combined correction fell into the pass or the individual parts as in...

My eyesight just tested today gave results :

Right : sphere -2.75, Cylinder -1.75, axis 180
left : sphere -2.00, cylinder -2.00, axis 170
right/left distance acuity: 6/6-1
right/left near acuity: N5
visual fields are full/ ishihara test is pass.

basically i'm borderline just making it in, in terms of astigmatism....but the combined power makes their requirements of -6 dioptres. Will i likely pass or do they really think about it and make me fail?
Im in the process of having my medical history sent off to gatwick to see what they say as i have IBS and was thinking i'll send off a copy of my prescription aswell. any help or words of comfort would be nice!
