Lattice degeneration (which I have in both eyes) is NOT the same as a retina hole. Most retinal holes are not due to lattice but are due to vitreous traction on the retina. Lattice may or may not have a retinal hole.
I'm not a lawyer but I am familiar with working with the USA FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) they are typical goverment wonks and difficult to deal with.You may need to hire a lawyer. This is the key working: "which interferes with visual function" So if you have peripheral lattice or even the area of your retina treated with laser AND IT DOES NOT interfer with your central vision and your peripheral vision then you should be good to go. For many years I did flight physicians for the US Navy and Marine pilot program and if there was lattice that did not affect vision it would not disqualify the applicant. So if this is your heart's desire you probably are going to need to retain a lawyer familiar with this area of the law. You should have a visual field examination done to confirm your peripheral vision is normal. So if the visual field is normal and your central vision is 6/6 post lasik I think you have a good case. One never knows when dealing with government bureaucrats.
Thank you doctor your answer is of great help.
Unfortunately, I can not comment since I do not understand the regulations in your county.
Retinal holes and lattice are not the same.
Dr. O.
The above rules and regulations are for the intial issue of medical and not for the renewals. It means that once I clear the medicals intially i wont have a problem clearing in a later date if i have get new holes or any other retinal condition in the future. Also i have i cleared American class 1 medicals and i even enquired european aviation authority and they said that it wont be a problem for the initial issue of license and for in future. These things mostly matter in the defense and not in general/commercial aviation...
Seems to me that even if you qualify now, your eyes may change and you may be disqualified in the future. Tread carefully...
