As someone said, you require two pairs while exercising the privileges of your licence.
Sounds like lowly admin staff gone mad.
No, it is a CASA Av Med requirement that you present with 2 pairs of specs for the medical. If you do not have them both on arrival, instruction is that DAME cannot proceed with the examination and you will be sent away. This is not the fault of the DAME.
So every DAME has been advised to get their booking staff to very clearly tell the person on the phone to bring in 2 pairs till at least enough time has elapsed for all current pilots/ATC to have been through it once and thus know about the new requirement.
Not "lowly admin staff" at either doctors or CASA gone mad.
