Steve,

Percy's right about the alphabet orgs.  EAA saved me 20 years ago with
good information.

Thoughts (no knowledge):
The FAA is probably worried about retinal detachment.  He's probably
going to need to have results from an ophthalmologist.  Before going in,
I'd want to have information from the FAA doctor involved on what,
exactly, they want to know.  The orgs can help you contact that person
to find out.

Anyway, since when do you have to have two working eyes to have a
medical?
