Dear all
I have just been informed by BA that my degree of astigmatism does not meet the minimum for the issue of a JAA Class 1 (R -2.25,L -2.50). As you can imagine I'm devastated. Can anyone tell me how I passed the BA medical in 1999 yet fail it now when in actuality, my eyesight has improved? In 1999, it was R -2.50, L -2.75).
I'm also through to the final round with bmi for their pilot bursary scheme.
So I'm hoping somebody out there can help me. I read with interest that requirements could be changing in the near future. Can anyone inform me if they will have any relevance to my situation? And what about laser corrective surgery? At present I'm trying to gather as much info as possible so as to weigh up my options.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
PS Are the requirements any different in the US as I have the right to work there.
