Hello guys,
Well am 19 years old and at present aspiring to become a pilot like many others and doing my flight training from US of A. I have been through my class 2 and class 1 medical at AFCME, New Delhi and there is one doubt which always troubles me so i thought i would today write down and ask from you.
We all know that for a pilot, remaining fit in medicals is utmost priority. I have weak eyesight (-) 4 in both eyes which as expected caused an issue in class 1 medical where they temporarily rejected me and a few others for various reasons and told me to redo the tests. Got the tests done, was ok so got my medical.
Here in Miami, a few guys told me that i would face issues in future with my weak eyesight as airlines dont want guys with spectacles
, dont know how much truth is there in it, as my power is more weak compared to others i am scared if i will face issues in future where airlines like JET have their own medicals.
Cant those like me get a lasik done to remove this power, theres a special lasik surgery for it. Sometimes i have sleepless nights fearing i may get rejected in a medical for this eyesight issue and its all over
Dont know but really want to know if i will face hardships when searching for jobs, if at all we get those soon, would a weak eyesight like -4 be a ground of rejection, could AFCME itself create an issue in 3rd ear renewal?
Thanks, want honest answers, so much of tension regarding this so jotted it down today..
