    Hi Daniel.


    Thank you for your question.


    I think it is unlikely as we need to have a certain amount of vision in each eye and binocular vision is important for depth perception and peripheral vision among other things, which I am sure you would already be aware of. We get checked for peripheral vision at each medical as well as the vision in each eye separately.


    The best course of action would be to contact an AME (Aero Medical Examiner) as they will know the answer to this better. The CAA should have a list.


    If I find out anything helpful I will let you know.


    Best wishes


    Kate
