Lazy Eye Requirements

Do you have to meet certain vision requirements to be a commercial pilot? For example… my right eye is better than 20/20 vision because it has had to compensate for my left eye being very bad.

Sam,

A pilot’s vision needs to be 20/20 or corrected to 20/20 with glasses or contacts. If you do not meet this requirement, you would need to apply for a Special Observation of Demonstrated Ability through your local FSDO. When you are ready to apply for your 1st class medical your AME will determine the best course of action.
