Checking out a lifelong dream

Having been a rather impoverished journalist for quite some time, certain things were always out of my grasp.
However, I've managed to save a bit of money in the past two years, meaning that I've finally got enough money to get my pilot's licence. That is, if the kind doctors at Schiphol Airport make a favorable decision about my eyesight. I had surgery three times when I was a kid to correct a lazy eye, and I'm scared out of my mind that a doctor will end my dream with one red cross on a medical exam form.
Any guys or girls out there who've been there and want to share?

Congratulations, I hope the medical goes well. If not, isn't there a sport licence category allowing you to fly the European equivalent of an ultralight?
I understand that we (the USA) are about to adopt a rule allowing anyone with a valid driver's license to obtain a license to fly light aircraft - no physical involved. Aloha, Hunt

I found that there was little difficulty with the American third-class medical certificate (I cannot drive legally without glasses), though I would probably not have such an easy time getting one now!

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
