There's another option which you might consider. Ever heard of The Bates Method?
I'm right at the beginning of researching and committing to £30K of costs to get my CPL(H). First barrier I hit was my eyesight which falls outside of both the existing and proposed initial limits (but within the limits set for renewal). Clearly I don't want to spend that kind of money if this is an impossible dream. But someone's put me on to this Bates Method.
The theory is that eyeseight can be improved. Don't know if it works, but it's worth a try. I'd certainly like to hear to success stories from would be flyers though.
Anyway - there's a website at
www.seeing.org and they can put you in touch with practioners. I saw one at the weekend.
Good luck, however you progress.
