Anyone know if this is allowed or would it lead to a fail on ENG 1?

shouldn't affect you as long as you can still pass the eyesight test.

Re: laser eye surgery
It's no problems at all. Just declare it to the doctor when he ask and so long as you pass the eye test with him then your ok.I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

Re: laser eye surgery
You have to wait 6 months from the date of the surgery to your ENG1. You can do it before but you get a temporary fail till the 6 months is up so there is no point. As Guinessman says once have had it done if your eyesight is good enough then you get your ENG1.
You might be given a 1 year as opposed to a 2 year ENG1 to start with but so long as you do not suffer revision ( eyes going back to before ) after the surgery then you will have no problems.
For the record the surgery is fine but the next 3 days are very unpleasant.Wise man says.... " Enough with the stupid questions "Comment

Re: laser eye surgery
just read that after Lasik surgery the cornea is permanently weakened but this doesn't happen with Lasek so the MCA probably prefer people to have Lasek
wouldn't want any cornea trouble while at seaFormer TH cadet with experience of cruise ships, buoy tenders, research ships and oil tankersComment

Technically "ARPA" is the system that does the collision avoidance :-)Originally posted by Chiefy
