Medical
Hi, I am currently looking in to becoming a commercial pilot, i am booking my Class 1 Medical now, but i have one worry. Are pilots allowed to fly, if they have "Floaters" in their eye?
Perhaps someone could give me some feeback |
What are floaters

You should be able to find quite a few threads on eye floaters if you do a search :)

Another unqualified opinion.
Most floaters are tedious but not serious. Have you had a full check up? Many pilots have quite bad floaters. Many ordinary floaters just go away, leaving absolutely clear vision. No hard booze and good sunglasses for a while helps. It is possible, in a small number of cases, to have a Posterior Vitreous Detachment at a young age. This often gives bad and long term floaters, but is not normally serious.( Search floaters and PVD.) However, in a small number of cases, the attachments--of the membrane like sack--pull on the back of the eye through the retina. If there is any flashing when you move your eye this is an indicator that there might be a danger to the retina. In the latter case, only a consultation with a retinal eye surgeon will do, as often PVD is taken too lightly. |
chocolate floaters ?
