Just a question about I,II,and III class medicals

[cuy]

I have a question: If for example you fail to pass a first, second, or third class medical, does your failing to pass it go on some kind of record that could come back to haunt you in the future per say?

Yes. Once you start a Form 8500-8, it is forwarded to the FAA by the AME whether the physical is completed or not.

A follow on - if I'm 30 years old, with no medical issues, what exactly is different between the three medicals? As best as I can tell, vision needs to be corrected to 20/20 near instead of 20/40. What else is different?

(Probably should have done the Class I last year, since I'm going to need a Class II in a few months....)
