Lasik, CAA and medicals

I had LASIK two years ago, and I held a Class 2 medical for my PPL H. I notified my AME, who in turn notified the CAA. The CAA sent me a nice letter saying my Class 2 Cert was suspended (for 90 days from date of Op and subject to my AME being satisfied that Op done ok). My AME reviewed the Lasik Consultants post Op review, all was good. CAA duly informed, and Class 2 Medical restored without reference to need for glasses/contacts.

All very smooth and satisfactory. Class 1 is of course more stringent, and any suggestion of the eyes not settling down post LASIK will be an issue I suspect. Needless to say, it is worth getting the best LASIK surgeon to do this Op, especially if your job depends on it being done properly.

Good luck
