Eyesight Requirement
« on: September 15, 2004, 04:17:58 pm »
Really need a straight answer on this folks....

For years now I've considered going for an air corp cadetship and even now starting an apprenticeship I'm still going to go for it next year.

But MOST unfortunately I've been blessed with bad eyesight which I curse everyday!  Now I'd be more than willing to correct my eyesight with laser surgery at whatever cost just so I could realise my dream.

Would this rule me out though? Will the air corp accept laser surgery? Or should I face up and forget about.

Any help most appreciated.
Just waiting for the call....

As far as I know, the Air Corps dont accept laser surgery for cadet applicants:

"Vision must be uncorrected and not less than 6/9 in each eye with normal night vision."

Best thing to do would be to ask your optician whether you're eyes are not less than 6/9.

Unfortunately Sully, Laser Treatment to correct vision is not accepted under the rules and regulations for Cadetship competition.
