amblyopia so severe that they were not able to place the line on the scale to establish a degree of eso or exophoria
That was me in my early thirties. The AME noted that I would be flaring late and it did take considerable extra time to get my landings right.

Then a new optometrist prescribed prisms. I almost fell down the stairs leaving his office with the new glasses. I then made a perfect landing 3' above the runway.

Lovely landings ever since.

Make very sure your optical prescription includes prisms.

The tendency without corrective prisms is to suppress one eye which I do working close up.

Even with prisms you may unconsciously tilt your head.

It amazes me that any CAA would be so obdurate with an easily correctable condition.
