Could anyone reply?
Currently, I have Class 3 Medical Certificate and I want to start my PPL-ATPL training. The only problem is my eyesight. I`m short eye sighted a bit.
I`ve just read this:
Eye standards for a first-class airman medical certificate are:
(a) Distant visual acuity of 20/20 or better in each eye separately, with or without corrective lenses. If corrective lenses (spectacles or contact lenses) are necessary for 20/20 vision, the person may be eligible only on the condition that corrective lenses are worn while exercising the privileges of an airman certificate.
(b) Near vision of 20/40 or better, Snellen equivalent, at 16 inches in each eye separately, with or without corrective lenses. If age 50 or older, near vision of 20/40 or better, Snellen equivalent, at both 16 inches and 32 inches in each eye separately, with or without corrective lenses.
As far as I understand if I wear glasses or lenses I can pass eye sight tests? Could anyone one confirm that I understand the text correctly?
Those numbers are not ring any bells in my mind
I just dont want to make LASIK eye surgery because in every day life I do not suffer much from my shortsightednes.
