Initial Class one eyesight - am I OK?
I know there have been many threads on eyesight requirements but would really appreciate it if someone could cast an eye over my results.
my most recent eyesight test showed
Right eye sph +1.75 ; cyl -0.5 ; Axis 85
Left eye sph +0.25 ; cyl -0.25 ; axis 5.6
From the CAA website
(d) Refractive error
(1) At initial examination an applicant may be assessed as fit with:
(i) hypermetropia not exceeding +5.0 dioptres;
(ii) myopia not exceeding -6.0 dioptres;
(iii) astigmatism not exceeding 2.0 dioptres;
(iv) anisometropia not exceeding 2.0 dioptres;
provided that optimal correction has been considered and no significant pathology is demonstrated.
I do not understand how the astigmatism and anisometropia of 2.0 is calculated (am I only 0.25 outside the 1.75 limit in my right eye)?
Am I correct in saying I can have a class one issued even though I currently wear glasses.
Thanks in anticipation.
