Vision
I have come to a part that I feel is going to end even the chance of me ever being a commercial airline pilot.
When I was 21 I was diagnosed with an eye disease called keratoconus which weakened my corneas in my eyes. Back in 2014 I had surgery which placed intacs in my eyes and got me to see 20/40 which was way better than before and is legal to drive. I can see and read just fine and read road signs and such, but my vision will never be 20/20 again.
I am getting ready to go see a doctor to get a class 1 medical screening. My question is if I happen to not have a distant vision of 20/20 can exceptions be made? I was told of something called S.O.D.A which can excuse something if you can demonstrate that you can perform the task. I hope this does not shatter my dreams of every flying commercial. I have heard from multiple people about all sorts of different exceptions and pilots flying with vision like mine or worse.
