Default Ambloypia in the FAA

Does the FAA have an amblyopic eyes waiver for the first class medical? And what are the rec's for it?

If nobody here knows, check out this website. If you can't find your answer, you can always pay their consulting fee and ask them:

Amblyopia. In amblyopia ex anopsia, the visual acuity of one eye is decreased without presence of organic eye disease, usually because of strabismus or anisometropia in childhood. In amblyopia ex anopsia, the visual acuity loss is simply recorded in Item 50 of FAA Form 8500-8, and visual standards are applied as usual. If the standards are not met, a report of eye evaluation, FAA Form 8500-7, should be submitted for consideration.
