[lc0202]

Hello all,

What does the medical check covers?
Is glasses permitted?

Many thanks and good luck!

Yes you should definately bring your corrective lenses with you....they will most likely do some tests with your lenses and without...but as long as you are 20/20 with corrective lenses you'll be ok for the medical...

what if you wear contact to the interview? then bring glasses to the interview?

i read in other forums that eventhough you don't need 20/20 you can't have more the -6/600 degree prescription.. is that right??

so what if i wear contact lens to the interivew should i bring my glasses?

i read in other forums eventhough you dont need 20/20 your eyes can't be worse then -6/600 though. is that true???

Hi,

I would love if someone could clarify one point for me: I'm wearing glasses, I successfully did a JAA class 1 medical so I suppose I would have no problem with the HK CAD one. One thing I'm not sure of anymore though, is if they rely on your glasses to test the "correctable to 20/20" requirement: since it's been over a year, I'm not sure if my eyes may have evolved a little bit, and although I'm sure the variation is small enough so that I wouldn't be out of the range, it's possible that my view with glasses that I've had for 2 years is still 20/20. Do I have to make sure that my glasses give me 20/20 vision, or would the staff during the class 1 medical have an array of lenses available and test me with them to make sure I have 20/20 corrected vision?

Thanks for your help!

Go get your eyes tested and take the prescription with you to the medical........................and if you need to change your glasses, well, now would seem like a good time to do it...................
