Only a small hurdle

Hey guys,

So I have keratoconus in both eyes. It wass progresive in my left eye and my vision had unfortunately gotten as worse as 6/12 in my left eye and 6/6 in my right eye corrected. So the good news, this all happened in September last year. I had Colagen cross linking done on my left eye in November and I now have 6/5 vision in my left eye. Best decission I have ever made. Not only that but I got my initial class 1 medical from casa with keratoconus. It is not a hurdle in Australia as long as you meet the visual accuity which for casa is 6/6 binocular and 6/9 in each individual eye. If anyone in the Melbourne area wants details for a good opthamologist just email me. My opthamologist has done tons of cross linkings on pilots. Keratoconus is only a small hurdle which is easily passed.
