How old are you?

Do you have keratoconus?

His paperwork states Amblyopia 6/9 Bilaterally

At 3.00 diopters of astigmatism you are outside the standard for issue but you are inside the standard for re-validation. So if you held a PPL and then applied for a class one medical they will apply the standards for re-validation.

But firstly make sure you haven't got KC as it can be stabilized. However once it goes above 3 diopters you will be screwed.
