AvMedIn, Thanks bro, my situation here in my country is different, i am from Malaysia, the panel doctor from the DCA apartment here doesnt allow keratoconus patient to wears corrective lenses such as RGP, i was told that it is a condition where it will become even worst. i had no choice so i ve decided to go for the surgery.. kinda sad ... i hope my vision will be improve or maybe alt least maintain and i will try again.
i've also called all the ophthalmologist specialist in DCA Malaysia, and they said that they never accept any application that has Keratoconus, so i had no choice but doing alot of research from the internet and i've been to one of the hospital here and the doctor clarifies me that its better i go for the surgery. as my left eye is KK3 which i have a high astig and my right eye has a good vision in KK2. however, i've made an appointment to the surgery on next week Wednesday 12.1.2011, i have no idea what can i do right now, as i ask the DCA doctor again, if i went for the Cross Linking surgery, would i still able to apply for the application? well, he told me they really never accept anyone with this sickness, but he says maybe i could try.. and the doctor from the hospital says that, i will not good enough to apply anymore after the surgery, as he told me that my eyes will be very sensitive with glares and lights at night. my feelings now is so unexplainable ... i don't know what to do and no one could give me any advice
... i also told them that FFA approves application with Keratoconus, but do we apply it in Malaysia? as the doctor told me that UK and US is different with Malaysia, where there's alot of application who applies for PPL so they have to accept the patient with it, but in Malaysia there's not much people apply for pilot courses for PPL, so they are being more strict than any others.
EASA = Applicants with keratoconus may be considered for a fit assessment if the visual requirements are met with the use of corrective lenses and periodic review is undertaken by an ophthalmologist.
This is weird why the DCA doesn't accept this which i can simply fit for the corrective lenses? they insist they don't accept applicant just with keratoconus. I am going to the surgery soon, should i proceed? i ve told that after Cross linking i might having a difficulties of glares at night. since the DCA don't want to approve me or maybe should i go for the surgery and hopefully if my condition is going to gets better?
i m definitely lost
