Hi guys,

I think I'm finally arriving at the conclusion that, according to the EASA document of December 2011, the laser eye surgery pre-operative maximum prescription of -6.00 will no longer apply once EASA takes over regulation from April 2012, is this correct?

- So EASA will be effectively taking over setting visual standards from the CAA from April?
- You will be able to fly regardless as long as your CORRECTED vision is within standards?
- Laser eye surgery WILL be permited for short sight?

I'd really appreciate some clarification, the CAA seems very murky in clearly outlining these pretty major changes to regulations and responsibility, which seem huge to me! Maybe I've got it all wrong!?
