According to the CAA, for short sightedness, the maximum allowable correction is -6.0. I wear lenses 90% of the time and my prescription is bang on the number of -6.0. However, if I look at my glass prescription it's -6.50.
I'll be contacting an eye examiner to confirm before I do anything, however, thought I'd check here to see if anyone has been in or heard of a similar situation. Other than being short sighted my eyes are perfectly healthy.
Thanks in advance....
Hi how did you get on as went for my Class 1 Initial this week with -5.50 and -6.25 and waiting to hear hopeful good news. All other eye tests were fine.
