Glaucoma

Post by jjfjr »

Hi;

For purposes of sport pilot certification, anybody have experience with glaucoma and selective laser trabeculoplasty to relieve the intraocular pressure?

That sounds like a question for the Medical Services folks at AOPA to me.

To exercise Sport Privileges, you must hold a current state issued drivers license, abide by any restrictions on it, and not know, or have reason to know, of any medical condition that would make you unsafe to fly. If your drivers license has no relevant restrictions, and your glaucoma doesn't make you unsafe to drive or fly, it is a non-issue.
