Hello all, Since i was little I've always wanted to become a pilot. I live in France, and am working on my PPL (i have my class 2). My main goal after high school/secondary school is to start flight traing in the UK, or even in Australia. I have done a lot of research on the schools available and the requirements, and of course one of those is to be able to pass a class 1 medical (JAA or EASA) for UK. For your information, i have ambyopia which reduces the vision in my left eye but it is corrected with glasses (and i meet the vision requirements with glasses). however, in the standards in the eyesight section for class 1 medical it states: (a) Applicants shall not possess any abnormality of the function of the eyes or their adnexa or any active pathological condition, congenital or acquired, acute or chronic, or any sequelae of eye surgery or trauma, which is likely to interfere with the safe exercise of the privileges of the applicable licence(s). So my question is: Is amblyopia considered "abnormality of the function of the eyes"? Because I have been told by some doctors that getting a class 1 medical in Europe would be very difficult but not in the US. Also, how are the standards in Australia because i cant seem to find them. If I cant get one in Europe then I will go to the US and do my flight training there. Thanks!
