Lasers in your eyes
At my Class 1 medical renewal last week, my AME told me the rules would shortly be changing w.r.t. LASIK (corrective eye surgery).
Currently, you lose your medical automatically for a year. The AME said the CAA would be moving towards the FAA system of re-validation within about six weeks (actually I think it is even quicker in the States)
I called the CAA medical division to speak to a rather bemused opthalmologist who had heard nothing about this, and suggested I keep an eye (!) on their website.
Anyone heard anything about this?
