Revalidation of class 1 with anisometropia, loss of licence?
Hi all,
Last year I got my class 1 in Belgium to start my ATPL. I got it without too much problems (except an extra colourvision test) and there is also a mark "VDL" on it, probably referring to the fact that I need glasses because my left eye is nearsighted. Today I went to the optician to get those glasses since my revalidation has to be done soon. Note that I see perfectly with both eyes, it's just the left that has -2.25 for correction. Now I found those values to be quite high, so I looked at EASA PART-MED, and there I found that the max difference is 2 dioptres (ico anisometropia) result: I'm quite scared now to lose my licence because of this, thereby rendering all my hard work (and dream) useless. Now it does say that you can have more if it is checked every 5 years, but I wonder why they didn't tell me this on my initial examination. Are these concerns justified or not?
I'm quite anxious about it now!
