Eye Test Problems

Hey, I have just had my Eyes Tested. I went to D&A and got a second opinion from SpecSavers just to be sure if i could pass a C1 Medical. I took the CAA forms in, none of them understood them completely but both places gave me two, quite different results, one result just scraped the other passed. They both say there right, but how am i ever going to find out which place has my real requirements? Is there another good opticians to try? I have had trouble with Spec Savers in the past, but they have usually been right, even when i have thought they have been wrong.

I am not sure, and neither was they if the N14 and N5 text tests are done with Glasses on (Corrected) or off (Uncorrected. I got them to test both, but does the CAA test with my glasses on?

They are tested corrected and uncorrected both distant and near but its the corrected vision that counts for the requirements.

Even if you exceed this limits you might be ok, if your fusional reserves are within limits to prevent diplopia.
