Prospective student pilot worried about medical

[Alexl]

Hi all,
I'm new here, hope this is an ok subject for this page. I am a
prospective private pilot student. My only worry is getting my third
class medical. What concerns me is my vision. My right eye is good, an
easy 20/25 maybe 20/20 corrected on a good day. My left eye however, is
a solid 20/70 corrected. I understand the requirements are 20/40
corrected for each eye, hence my concern. I hear about some pilots
getting certain wavers in similar situations, is this something I would
likely qualify for. If I am doomed I would hate to be disqualified from
sport pilot too, so if the consensus is I will fail, I will likely just
go with lsa. Other than the left eye, I am in fantastic health. I am a
yipper snapper At 21 years old if that makes any difference.

Many thanks,
Alex

One-eyed pilots can get medicals, so rest assuded, you should be able to
get one, too.
