Well, well ! I wonder which one of my colleagues is presently residing AHMP ? Certainly not anyone who is personally known to me, I'm relieved to say !

I will most likely book in for an eye test this week but I was wondering what I need for my next renewal. Do I just turn up with a pair of specs (plus spare) and list it as a change since my last medical or is there paperwork the optician needs to fill out to satisfy the AME/CAA?
I suspect that in most AME practices the former would be the case. A few might prefer to see a report on the refraction / prescription from the optician who has supplied your spectacles. If the change was sufficient to justify the addition of a glasses limitation to the certificate ( VDL being the most likely in this case ) then that can be added easily by the AME using the AME-online system (many other restrictions or limitations can only be added or removed by the CAA at Gatwick).
