I am not sure whether or not the SODA is valid in Colombia if it's from the FAA. My suggestion would be to contact the FAA directly and ask them about it -- they should be able to help you out more than I can.

Oh thank you, but to communicate with the FAA, i have to call to a special number or what? the Colombian aeronautic organization don't know about the SODA test and i don't know who to contact
 
I agree, In obtaining special eye evaluations in respect to the airman medical certification program, reports from an eye specialist are acceptable when the condition being evaluated relates to a determination of visual acuity, refractive error, or mechanical function of the eye.

The information to contact is clear, but you don't have the email for tell about me case and know in what time i can call and talk in detail about me?

I have many questions about this, but the main issue that concerns me is if the SODA test for example, if I pass the SODA test successfully, in this case to amblyopia in the future when i will have to get a job in a airline, don't will be the SODA certificate a problem to get a job like pilot?

If you go for the first medical and know your eyesight may not meet the standards. Don't let the AME deny the medical, ask that it be deferred while you complete the evaluation form with the regional flight surgeon.

Upon a successful MFT which they should allow you to take, then they issue you the full medical.

My eyesight does meet the visual standard of both eyes 20/20 . But I was diagnosed with lattice degeneration and treated with barrage laser a year ago and retina is stable and had no hole or tear or any complication. Am I eligible for class1 or will ter b any complication.
