Class 2
(c) Visual Acuity
In an applicant with amblyopia, the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye shall be 6/18 (0,3) or better. The applicant may be assessed as fit, provided the visual acuity in the other eye is 6/6 (1,0) or better, with or without correction, and no significant pathology can be demonstrated.



If your amblyopic eye can't make out the 6/18 line (ask your optician), then there is this ..

(2) An applicant with substandard vision in one eye may be assessed as fit subject to a satisfactory flight test if the better eye:
(i) achieves distant visual acuity of 6/6 (1.0), corrected or uncorrected;
(ii) achieves intermediate visual acuity of N14 and N5 for near;
(iii) has no significant pathology

May I suggest you download this... http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/49/Ophthal...m%20MED162.pdf

take it to your optician and get it filled out then contact a local AME

Medical Examiners Database Search | Medical | Personal Licences and Training

and ask him or her to advise you.
