If I follow the doctor's advice, I'd be going at 39, then 42, 44, etc., so in
the overall picture it really doesn't change things for me. This puzzles me
why my doctor would make such a recommendation.

Puzzles me too. The number of exams remains the same, you're just
moving one up a year...he must be hard up for the fee.

So my question is ultimately this:
After 40, do the 3rd Class Medical standards change? Are the vision
requirements the same?

There are age differences for anything on the third.
