Monocular visual acuities should be 6/6 or better
Here are my eyes sights' details:
Right Eye: -5.00 (Myopia) /-2.5 (Astigmatism) / 173
Left Eye: -5.00 (Myopia) /-2.5 (Astigmatism) / 175
Since Astigmatism exceed the limit.... Does it means I will have ABSOLUTE zero chance to become a commercial pilot ?
Is it really that hopeless !!!???
Many Thanks
You will be fine, don't worry. If you don't have any particular pathology there's no reason why they should reject your medical certificate. I had -3 dioptres of astigmatism.
And you could Always get eye surgery, as I am planning to since my vision at 23 seems to be established now.
