I have worn glasses all my life. I may at some point have shot at YM coastal or offshore and am wondering about whether to look for a commercial endorsement which would enable me to skipper (say) a charter yacht.
On the MLA5 the two relevant questions for me are these:
b) Is the applicant unable to read 6/6 on the Snellen Chart at six metres distance in at least one eye even with glasses or contact lenses ?
No issue here - wearing glasses my eyesight easily meets this requirement.
c) Is the applicant unable to read 6/60 with at least one eye without any visual aid?
I would most likely fail c).
Failing c) would result in a referral if as I understand it. What would the likely outcome of the referral be?
Thanks.
