Hello Ollie247
You are right. I too have been following this thread for quite some time. And the new EASA rules, since I have one eye outside the limits of -6!!!
Until December 14, there was no dioptre limit in the proposed changes.
In the new
Annex to Decision 2011/015/R, the dioptre limit is back. See page 25 and 26.
The rules was changed at the last minute...
No pre-operative refraction limit for myopia anymore. Thats the good news. I can get a L@sik eye surgery, and should bee able to pass Class 1 Medical when the rules change from JAR-FCL3 to EASA Part-Med.
