Default Another 1st Class Medical ?

I am going in tomorrow to get a 1st class medical. This is my first medical. My question is can you get a 1st class medical if you wear glasses? I mean if they are corrected to 20/20 (which I hope they are) can I get a first class or is it not even possible.

No problem! Lots of us first class medical holders wear glasses!

It just seems like I read somewhere that you (Doug) said that you had to get vision therapy or something so I wasn't sure.

I did. I had mild amblyopia when I was younger and my eyes didn't line up correctly. But with vision training I was able to somewhat improve my vision so I don't require glasses.

Having glasses is not a problem in the airline business. But I no longer need them so I don't wear them.
