Class 1 Medical Eye Test - CYL -3.00 (Fail)
Hello everyone. I recently started the process of trying to become a Comercial pilot but I seem to have fallen at the 1st hurdle.
I went for my eye test today at my local opticians (I don't currently wear or feel I need glasses) however, once I'd finished my test I was told my left eye wouldn't meet the required standards.
I have astigmatism in my left eye to the value of -3.00 about the requirements for a Class 1. (-2.00)
I spoke to the CAA and they said even with corrective surgery/ Glasses or Contacts it wouldn't be possible to obtain Class 1 Medical for Comercial Flying because they use the results BEFORE corrective vision.
Has anyone had or know anyone who's has a similar problem?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any replies given.
