PRK Eye Surgery and the Class 1 - Australia

I have searched for some up to date threads on this but could find anything too recent.

I have PRK back in 2007 in Melbourne and subsequently became a pilot. I am now employed in a small airline. I have just renewed my class 1 and CASA have come back after all this time requesting another opthamologial asessment to check my "contrast sensitivity function". If this is not satisfactory i will lose night flying approval and this will mean losing my job.

Does anyone know what this is? How is it tested?

Has this happened to anyone before?

Im obviously a little stressed right now given the implications.

Cheers - HHH
