I got an FAA Class 1. Piece of cake. I expect that JAA one is different(?)
The details of the requirements are in the FARs. I got new glasses the week before and made sure that the optician tested all the items required by the FARs. When it came to doing the eye test at the AME's office, there were no problems.
The rest of it really seems to depend on your age and medical history. If you're over 40 (I think), they do EKGs, but then my GP does that anyway as part of my annual medical.
The other factor is the AME themselves.
