Default Contact lens and medical

Interesting, the whole thread. Evidently a requirement from the 1970s has
been dropped. Back in those days, for a first class medical you had to have
a waiver (and I've got both of them in front of me as I type just to be
sure) if your UNcorrected vision is worse than 20:200.

I guess I can forget about filling in the "do you have a waiver" box on the
application form from now on.

The response was "You wear contacts?
