DO YOU understand what you just posted.
do you understand the requirements ???

Maybe ?
eye transplants ?

or
even a seeing eye dog can take the test for you ?

You need to ask your recruiter these questions (that's their job to know). Let us know what they say.

Good luck.

Corrected means with glasses. I'm in the process of applying to be a pilot in the Army, even pilots can have 20/50 uncorrected, 20/20 with glasses. You'll be fine, but make sure you have glasses so that you ARE in fact 20/20 corrected, and bring those with you to MEPS for the eye exam. They want to see that your corrected vision is what is outset in the requirements.

Also, to M14ed's point, Laser eye surgery is a well accepted but expensive option these days, even in aviation. For what you are doing, you will be fine with just corrective lenses, though.

Best of luck,
