Hi all,
My eye-sight was perfect up to a few years ago when I slowly started to become short sighted - probably all that internet time.
Anyway from talking to airline pilots who wear glasses it seems things don't have to be perfect in relation to your eye sight - as long as everything else is okay with your eyes.
My question is, does anyone know what kind of tests you have to pass with either the BA or Aer Lingus medicals in relation to your eye sight? Is there a certain part of the test you have to pass with out the use of your glasses?
Finally would really appreciate it if someone can give my details as to what kind of things I have to pass, e.g must have 6/20 vision, or be between certain Diopters - again without my glasses on ?
Thanks,
David
