eyesight requirements for licenced engineer after cataract surgery
I carry out helicopter maintenance and have a cataract in the left eye, I'm 62 years old. To date regular changes of glasses have helped. I am short sighted in both eyes. I want to have an operation to solve this problem. The medical insurance cover I have is high (over a million GBP) but that does not mean they will want to cover costs for what they call premium lens' unless I can justify the need.
From searching the Internet, its looking like what I need is one focusing lens fitted and one for the right eye that will be fixed. I expect to be in hands on maintenance till age 70 and kick the bucket at 85, so the len's will have to last a while.
Any information on what I should be asking for would be most welcome.
