FMC,
it'll depend which licence you want to take, i.e. JAA, FAA or South African. In which case, you'll need to check with that particular Authority as the requirements do differ.
Cheers

Yes it is true, and even if you fall slightly outside those limits (as I do) do not despair, go and see the CAA optical guy (very helpful) and get a full examination.
I did just that last month and am now the proud owner of a class 1 medical.
Best of luck

My last eye sight test was back in October 2009. So am I right in thinking that I should pass the eyesight test of the Class 1 medical (without glasses):
Sphere (SPH) Astigmatism (CYL) (Axis)
Right + 0.25 -1.25 97.0
Left + 0.25 -1.25 78.0

Right + 0.25 -1.25 97.0
Left + 0.25 -1.25 78.0
