Dr Bruce:
I am almost thru the second two years of a six year SI for glaucoma, and my optho has noticed more cupping in the right eye, and wants to change one of my medications from timolol to Xalatan. I am on a 6 week trial of Xalatan now. The following paragragh is from the SI letter from Silberman:
"You must promptly report any adverse changes in your medical condition to the AMCD at the above address. You are cautioned to abide by Title 14 of the CFR's, Section 61.53, relating to operations during the medical deficiency. Because of your glaucoma, opertion of aircraft is prohibited at any time new symptoms or adverse changes occur or if you experience side effects from, or require a change in medication."
While my optho doens't consider this to be an adverse symptom, she is being cautious and is changing my medication.
The letter says nothing of how long to self ground, or basically what to do. I fear this means I am grounded, and must do the whole SI dance again.
Help?
