Eye Testing in Qatar
Hi Jetstreamhoney,
I can only speak from experience about the eyetesting for pilots, but I would expect that the same standard will be given to cabin crew for QR as well.
We attended a private medical centre for our QCAA Class 1 medicals, and were given, the usual medical xrays, blood test and ear nose and throat. Then a specialist optician carried out the eyesight testing, funnily enough ive had 'the works' eyetest in the uk and was not required to wear glasses for flying on my uk medical, but over here I have to wear weak glasses to be given a medical ?
Must admit that the standard of eye testing wasnt quite up to UK standards taking about 5 mins as against 20 in the UK, and projecting the letters on a dirty wall from a rather out of focus projector didnt help.
Ive since renewed my medical and eyetest in the UK and again its good and I dont need to wear glasses.
As for one of your eyes doing most of the work, i wouldnt think that would be a problem for your cabin crew medical. Good luck and enjoy the hot summer its 48deg today and its so hot the windows in the holiday villa apartments are starting to crack and fall out!
