Hi folks,
My vision is about 20/800. Talked to a recruiter on the phone and said that (nor my 110 lb frame--underweight by 5 lbs) shouldn't be a problem. My optometerist (sp?) also says I'm a good candidate for laser eye surgery.
I'll talk to the recruiter more when I have a day off work in a few weeks, but wondering if anyone here has enlisted and has vision as bad as mine? Was it a problem? Will it close any doors (other than the obvious aviation) if I have lousy vision? And they let you purchase a spare pair of glasses to carry in case yours break, correct?
All things considered I rather wear glasses than do surgery.
TIA, folks
