Hello everyone,
I have one question regarding the EASA Initial Class 1.
I have read the specific documents about visual requirements but I am not sure I understood well. My left eye condition is -2.75 dioptres with -0.50 astigmatism. I have read that the sight defect should not exceed 3.0 dioptres: now my question is does it count -2.75 - 0.50 = -3.25 and therefore I would not pass the Initial Class 1?

Now I sent an email to an Aeromedical Centre here in Germany where I live with the same question and the answer was "Your eyes should not be a problem", which is not very reassuring as the initial check would cost me nearly €500.

Thanks a lot.
