Eyesight

Thanks for the info! I am going to the optitions tomorrow for an eye test, I will take the requirements away with me and see what he says.

I'm very sure that you will all know this, the wording of the JAR Class 1 is: 'If you need correction the refractive error (the amount of correction) must not exceed +5.00 dioptres of long sight or -6.00 dioptres of short sight. This is in the most ametropic meridian (taking into account any astigmatism).'

The bit I don't understand is 'taking into account any astigmatism'. Does this mean I have to add the numbers on my prescription?

Thanks,
rodoc
