HI Speedbird,

Sorry to hear of your situation. I too have eyes that the CAA deem to qualify as unfit for commercial flight, but I am older than YOU (a mature 35). I would check up on the CAA webpage that you can indeed fulfil the JAR class one sght requirement with laser eye surgery. If I remember correctly the CAA will just continue to look at your previous prescription BEFORE your eyes were lasered! I think the CAA are a bit conservative ionh the lasering area anyway but I'll have to check myself.

Keep trying and don't give up flying.
