For anyone who is interested, I had LASIK (laser) eye surgery in December 2001, to correct my eyesight for myopia (short sight)and astigmatism.
I went for my initial Class 1 medical in April 2002 and passed everything, but the optometrist said I would have to wait for December 2002 before he could say whether or not my eyes were any good for the Class 1.
I went back on the 12th December 2002 for the re-test of my eyes and after 5 or 6 tests he said my prescription was better than it was in April 2002 and so the Class 1 medical was mine!!, which is quite lucky, because I've just taken my first lot of ATPL exams!!!!!
