Question on the medical...

Medicals have been issued to one eyed pilots and folks who have lost both legs.

As advised, talk to the AOPA. They are great help...

Hello everyone,

Long-time lurker first time poster...licensed skydiver. I'm interested in becoming a pilot (age 47) but given that my
best corrected vision in my left eye is 20/40 and usually 20/50 (with hard contacts) as a result of keratoconus. I'm
anticipating the need for a corneal transplant therefore to get the left eye to acceptable params. Has anyone here
had or know of anyone who has had such surgery and become/maintained flight status?

TIA

Richard
