Optic Nerve Head Drusen
Hi all,
After recently going for a Class 1 medical at Gatwick, I was found to have a small blind spot in my left eye. I was asked to be referred to a opthamologist to check this out and he believes I have a rare condition called Optic Nerve Head Drusen. I still need to have some scans to confirm this.
I have pretty much written off flying commercially (whilst he said I currently meet the standards for a Class 1 medical, my eyesight may deteriorate in the future and thus I could fall below the standard - this is all if I am able to get a Class 1 medical with the condition). Does anyone know if I'd be able to get a Class 1 or Class 2 medical so that I could still do a PPL? If not, assuming I'm still OK to drive, would I be able to get an NPPL with the less stringent medical requirements or should I just give up on flying altogether?
Thanks in advance,
