Hi zondaracer,
Thanks for the quick reply! I only have Keratoconus in my left eye (6/36) and the vision in my right eye is perfect (20/20). My vision overall is normal, but with my right eye closed I struggle to meet the CAA visual requirements. I have been prescribed a hard contact lens from an ophthalmologist which has made the vision in my left eye significantly better. After notifying the CAA, however, their response was that Keratoconus is still disqualifying for an initial application. If I were to pass the FAA medical, would it be possible to convert this to a CAA medical in the future? I'm assuming then it would be classed as a renewal and not an initial application? It seems silly that Keratoconus is disqualifying but if diagnosed after passing the Class 1 medical then it is okay. Hopefully they change the regulations to allow people with Keratoconus that has been corrected to pass the initial medical.
