Message-ID: <213@iwu1c.UUCP> Date: Fri, 9-Mar-84 12:10:18 EST Article-I.D.: iwu1c.213 Posted: Fri Mar 9 12:10:18 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 10-Mar-84 12:43:51 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 35 (CLEAR!) Has anyone out there had any experience with requesting a waiver of vision requirements for a Second Class medical? I managed to get my Third Class with no problems, but I might want a Second in the future so I can get my Commercial. SPECIFICS: Vision in both eyes 20/400 minus (Chart?? What chart???) Both eyes correctable to 20/20 I wear my glasses ALL the time Vision has been stable for the past 5 years Vision had improved slightly at my last checkup (last year) I have no other visual disturbances; just the myopia When I asked the doctor at my Third Class examination, he hemmed and hawed a bit and then told me that I could always get an instrument rating. When I pressed him for an answer, he told me I could apply for a waiver, but not to hold my breath. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, John Opalko AT&T Bell Labs {whatever}!ihnp4!iwu1c!jgpo
