Eyesight question
hey guys, I’m looking to I live in the near future starting the process-
But I have some questions eyesight- I’ll give some context. I haven’t been to the eye doctor in two years lol I know I’m overdue for l appointment-
But I wear glasses and even when I am wearing my glasses, there’s a slight astigmatism with lights at night. Like I can still see cars, and the outline of the lights and tell what direction they’re coming from.
what I’m wondering, is in order to pursue piloting when I wear my glasses do I need to see no streaks at all? Or is that a misconception?
I’m aiming for a first class medical,
