Managed to get class 1 for ATPL course with VDL and RXO conditions (glasses+extra glass in bag always; annual specialist evaluation - )
Haven't changed much degrees in the last 2 years, and from a 6 months (so far) follow up, the KC is stable - I'm 32
I can foresee that a job in a major airline will be tough. But might score some LCC or stay in ferry/GA market.
How have any other fellow KC'ers been?
Best regards and merry xmas to all

Renewed in Portugal for another year with no issues at all. Had a very tranquilizing talk with the AME this time.
On my initial I was sent to an outside doctor who freaked the hell out of me

Hi all,
I have an eye condition called keratoconus which affects the shape of the cornea. Have had this condition for about 10 years now in which I have had the cross linking procedure done which has halted the progression. Currently wearing hard rgp contact lenses to correct the vision to 6/6.
My question is, does anyone know of anyone who has this condition who holds a EASA class 1 medical.
Im thinking if I am able to pass the class 1 medical will it be worth all the money of commercial flight training to one day get told I will need to stop flying due to loosing my medical.
Currently have a PPL and will be booking my class 1 in next couple of months.
Would appreciate your feedback and advice on this matter.
Thanks again.
