you now have to complete a eye sight exam at spec savers etc. before you start applying

i was going for WSOp and my eyes were good enough for WSO and WSOp but not pilot!

I haven't long had mine and had the form filled in for the application process. There are some test's that they ask for that aren't normally done in your normal eye tests. My vision is 6/5 in both eye's which is slightly better than 20/20 if my optician is right.

There's another thread here with the eyesight requirements;
