I want to become a private pilot but have not had my medical exam yet.
I have a very slight strabismus (crossed eye) that manifests from
time to time. It is so slight my doctor does not recommend any
treatment.


Hi DL,

Should not cause a problem. I have no depth perception due to my past
history of strabismus, that I had surgically corrected about 15 years
ago.

Medical Examiner had to make a call to the FAA to see if the depth
perception problem I have would prevent me from flying. FAA said as
long as I don't have double vision or any problems driving a car, flying
would be fine.
