Had an appointment yesterday with the local optician. Gave him the Class 1 visual requirements and asked if i'd be able to pass. We completed the examination he said I should have no problem passing the visual side of the medical.
My right eye is +3.75 (Sph) which -0.25 (Cyl) and 90 (Axis)
My left eye is +0.50 (Sph)
My only concern is, my right eye is scarily close to +5, the class 1 maximum. I'm 17 years old and just wondered does anyone think that my vision will deteriorate outside the limits. If it does, is there anything I can do to get it back within the limits (i.e surgery) or do the standards become broader once initial examination is passed.
I'd hate to gain a class 1 medical, complete all the CPL/ATPL training then find out a couple of years down the line that my vision no longer is acceptable in my right eye, to pass the class 1 medical.
Much appreciated, Jake.
