I have just been informed that the "limit" +5 for refractive error, might be changed in the not so distant future. A chief medical JAA doctor informed me this in writing. So for you who are outside those limits, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And if you are border line, now is the time to go for it, before EASA takes over.
It was from a chief medical abroad, + I know from first hand information that UK CAA also are working to get the refractive error limitiations removed, and make it more similar the FAA.
Again the wording is maybe maybe, but the glass is half full, and not half empty.
