PPL and eyesight requirements

[mekaneka]

Hi all,
I'm currently exploring learning to fly with the hope to get a PPL - but i'm unsure about passing the medical and wonder if someone could steer me in the right direction - i've a lazy eye and have looked at the CAA website but i'm not sure if all the criteria apply to me given the lazy eye or not.

any thoughts? thank you!

Thank you for replying!! So no i've not seen that, but it would seem to suggest that I would be okay for a class 2, as in point (1i) I fall into the amblyopia category.

And I have 6/5 vision in the good eye, so better than 20/20; and can read N14/N5

I presume an SSL is pretty standard stuff and would just be a case of 'must wear glasses when flying'?

This is not the place to ask medical questions. I presume the figures that you have provided are recent, if not you need to obtain an up to date eye test. You should then contact your local AME who will provide expert knowledge and ask the correct questions.
