Hi guys,
I'm looking to get a Euro Class 3, (same eyesight standards as CAA/EASA Class 1 medical) for ATC once I finish my aviation based degree this year. I have had lasik 9 months ago. My pre-op prescription was -6 in my left which passes, but -7 in my right which is past the limit. My eyesight is fine and stable now and in limits. Prior to my laser I held a CAA Class 2 as I was undertaking PPL training, but never had it renewed after my surgery.
Is there any chance the CAA or NATS medical centres may let me gain my Euro Class 3, or EASA Class 1?
The ambiguity of the eye requirement documents say contact the CAA for advice if your pre op prescription is out of limits, but i'm wary of doing that and it makes it sound like there is an almost grey area.
Any advice or experience with this issue would be much appreciated.
Cheers
