Ok for a class 1 FAA or JAA (EASA) medical outside of France can I have 20/40 vision in one eye if both eyes are 20/20 together. Or am I not allowed to fly for the airlines?

I believe JAA is 20/100 uncorrected, 20/20 corrected (each eye). |

FAA is 20/20 with correction, so as long as each eye corrects to 20/20 or better you are fine.

Ok so what's uncorrected for FAA? Because my optomologist said he couldn't be able to correct my left one as the lens involved a very slight predicament?
If you cannot correct each eye to 20/20, then you might want to get a second opinion or look into specialty treatments such as LASIK (wave-front). Note: The FAA used to require 20/100 uncorrected, but they eliminated this requirement about 10 years ago. Many other countries still have this requirement. |
I haven an amblyopic eye, which I believe in America allows me to be eligable for a waiver and fly for the airlines? Is this avaliable anywhere else in the world?

The FAA has no requirement for UNcorrected vision. As long as each eye can be corrected to 20/20 with glasses or contacts, you are good.

JAA (UK) eyesight requirements
Here in the UK you need to have vision (corrected) of 6/9 (20/30) in each eye and 6/6 (20/20) with both eyes. Correction must be no more than +5 or -6. There is no waiver for a lazy eye. So I guess it depends how "lazy" your bad eye is - if you can make 6/9 you're ok. N.B. These are the requirements for a class 1 (professional) medical. For more information have a look at this:
