First medical with glasses

Hey all,

Last year my CAME suggested I have my eyes tested for this years' medical because I was right on the edge for the "uncorrected" tests in my left eye. I went to an optometrist yesterday who confirmed I'll need glasses.

My medical is tentatively booked for Tuesday, but I won't have my first pair of glasses until Friday at the earliest.

I want to make sure that my thinking is correct: Because I now need glasses, my medical would be assessed as "unfit" until I bring the glasses with me and I should therefore delay my medical until they're in hand.

I do have a report from my optometrist which states what my vision was uncorrected and corrected, so I don't know if that would help my cause or would they still have to list me as "unfit."

While I do plan on calling my CAME prior to the exam and talking to her, I'm looking to put my mind at ease for the rest of the weekend lest my wife kill me over this years' "medical mystery problem."

Thanks all!
