Astigmatism Probem

Hi Hagop,

Yesterday I went to see the optometrist to do an eye check!

For near vision: it's perfect
Distant Vison : -0.5 / -0.75 (less than -1.00 )
No daltonism
However I do have astigmatism : -1.00 / -1.75

For MEA astigmatism is not acceptable

As for EASA class 1 medical exam : the maximum you can have for astigmatism is -2.00

Do you think they will reject my application for the program if I reach step Number 6 ?

I mean they can assess it. Im below the EASA requirements !!

Do u know anybody who got accepted having this type of problem ?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Regards,

Thanks

Elie
