IN PREPARATION FOR YOUR MEDICAL
Please bring along a form of photo ID, any relevant medical history, glasses/contact lenses if worn, and an up-to-date opticians report if applicable. You will be asked to produce a urine sample upon arrival to the appointment.
If LASIK or any corrective eye surgery has been done, you will need to provide the following information as stated by the CAA:
- An ophthalmic report must be provided from the centre that carried out the surgery and this should conform to the CAA’s guidance on ophthalmic reports. Details must include dates and type of surgery performed, pre-operative refraction, and details of any complications (or a statement that no complications have occurred).
- Class 1: refraction should be assessed at 4 and 6 weeks at an AeMC and an ophthalmological review undertaken with a consultant ophthalmologist at the 6 week point before re-certification can be considered.
- Class 2 – refraction should be assessed at 4 and 6 weeks with confirmation of absence of dysphotopsia symptoms and local consultant ophthalmological review at the 6 week point before re-certification can be considered.
You can revalidate your medical from 45 days prior to its expiry.
