Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and to flying. My last post did not post. Long story short, I currently hold a cat 3 medical and passed the vision requirements...just. Is TC's vision standards for cat 1 flexible/ just guidelines or are they strict? As I will be getting my cat 1 within the next few months. I have congenital cataracts and am under 20, with my current vision I feel 100% confident to fly. I do not want cataract surgery at my young age, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Vision Requirements for TC
The only way to know for certain is to go for your Cat 1 medical.
If there are any questions, you will be required to get a more in depth eye exam, which will be reviewed by Civil Aviation Medicine.
You need to be correctable to 20/20 Cat. 1.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not,knows no release from the little things; knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings.

Scroll down to section 1.33 Visual Requirements, the answer might be in there. Go see the doc, anyway!
All the best!
