Hello everyone,
First of all I wish you all a happy new year 2015 !
The reason I am posting this thread is because despite all my research on internet there are no answers to my questions, and I am sure there are people on this forum who are also doctors or know a lot more than I do. I hope you understand I don't really want to ask an AME if it is to shot me down. lol
So my question is:
- When a commercial airline pilot suffer from a large amount or disturbing floaters (whatever the age), is the FOV (Floater Only Vitrectomy) a surgery allowed by the class1 medical ? If yes, would it be a restricted class 1 then ?
- Any airline pilot on this forum who has to deal with this problem ?
I am 29 and quite concerned by this problem now, my vision is good and eyes are healthy, I also passed my last medical class 1 no problem but as time goes by I get more and more disturbed by new floaters and it will come a day where I will have to do something about it, so I need to put a strategy in place as soon as possible if I want to keep my job in the futur.
Thanks a lot if you can help me
