Default Central Cirus Retinopathy

Hi.

I suffered from Central Cirus Retinopathy this past summer. I had laser surgery which corrected the problem, and have since had my vision tested to 20/20 (with glasses).


Although my vision is now 20/20 corrected, will a history of Central Cirus Retinopathy prevent me from obtaining future Cat 1 medicals?

Thanks in advance.

You should have no problems. Just submit a Form 8500-7 from your eye doctor when you go for your next medical.
