what sort of surgery corrects near sighted double vision? Surgery on what? Eye muscles? Brain?

Oh, I know that LASIK corrected the nearsightedness. The double vision I'm not sure about but it was a long time ago and they've maybe updated it with new techniques or procedures.

So you had a brain injury severe enough to cause double vision and a central vision bilateral field cut? How long were you unconscious after the mishap and what does your MRIlook like now?

Like I suspected, there is a lot more to this story.
The road to the airport is a boulevard of broken dreams.
You have my sympathy but so far not my understanding.
Be careful the FAA doesn’t ding you for omission on your initial medical application because if I were them that’s where I’d start looking.
You had a real serious accident that has caused lasting effects.
Brain injuries may not hinder functionality in normal life but aviation is not normal life.
Certainly a career in aviation is not.
Disclosure: I’ve been a Chief Flight Instructor at a medium sized 141 Flight school (8-14 instructors) and I’ve dealt with my share of student issues and student/instructor problems.
Everything I’ve read so far would be cause for concern. Serious concern.

Thank you for your concerns but where it stands today is that they revoked my medical certificate because of something that doesn't have any bearing on my ability to fly. I don't have all the answers to give you regarding surgery or what not but it's old news and I'd rather focus on what it's going to take to get my medical back and what to reasonably expect. This condition never affected my ability to act as PIC and had I never gone to my doctors, I never would have known about it and would still be well on my way towards building my career. I respect the opinions of others but don't need to be told I have some kind of defect that should falsely restrict me from continuing my journey as my doctors, instructors and DPE have expressed they do not intend me to stop training and this not some random coincidence. If you'd like to go into what your experience specifically was with getting revoked and then recertified, I'd like to continue discussing that instead as well. Thank you otherwise.

Absent more CORRECT input, no one here has the vaguest idea of whether you can EVER be recertified. Certainly the FAA will NEVER recertify you or grant a SODA without having that pertinent information - or quite possibly even with it.

They never asked for anything like that, and my ophthalmologist sent in his own report that may have answered that question. I just hate this waiting game.

These guys are on the right track.

The reason they seem like they’re up your ass is because they’re thinking like the FAA. Example:

You have low testosterone. You go to an endocrinologist and he confirms you have low T, diagnoses you with secondary hypogonadism. Puts you on testosterone injections. You get the meds dialed in and you feel great.

You let the feds know, and they pull your medical. They want a handful of tests, including an MRI of the head. Why? Who cares if you had some libido issues? That doesn’t influence your ability to fly, right? You’d be correct. What gives, right? Stay out of my pants and give me my medical!

What they’re concerned about isn’t your testosterone levels, or even how you react to the med—they want to know WHY your testes aren’t receiving the proper signaling to produce testosterone. Could be many things, INCLUDING pituitary tumor. THAT could be a problem in the airplane...

Think about it. There are people with a glass eye who fly airplanes. Clearly, field of vision isn’t THAT big of a deal. But when it’s secondary to a traumatic brain injury, the FAA wants to know absolutely everything that happened, soup to nuts.

I wish they would ask for that then. They haven't made it clear to what they're looking for outside of saying they need significant medical evidence that my condition improved.

Permit me to assist the process then:

Dear BigKetchup,

Please send us absolutely everything that happened, soup to nuts.

Your friendly neighborhood FAA.

Seriously, do you think they will EVER clear you without having that information? They lay their own careers on the line when they waiver people that don’t otherwise meet standards. Not going to happen when you stonewall them.

and what kind of idiocy is this?

Your doctors, instructors, and DPE do not intend me to stop training? You are STILL training? If so, I hope it’s ground school and you aren’t going to try to log any flying hours. And you realize that none of those people including you personally are going to make this call, don’t you? That the FAA is perfectly willing to sit on this for all eternity if you don’t come clean with them?
