Short-Sighted Astigmatism and the Class 1 Medical
Hi all,
I'm wondering if somone may be able to help me.
My presciption is SPH -2 CYL -3 / SPH -2.25 CYL -3.15, which clearly puts me over the 2 dioptres of astigmatism limit as specified by the CAA in order to pass the initial visual standards for a Class 1.
My question is, is there a l@ser procedure that would correct my astigmatism sufficiently to allow me to gain a Class 1? And has anyone been successful in this?
I'm a student, finishing my degree at the moment. I will be in contact with the CAA this week to discuss the matter with them but was hoping I may get some feedback on here too.
Thanks for any information.
James
