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?

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

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

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?

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.

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?

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:

I hope this helps
