NFO Vision Requirements
- Thread starter Chris5013

NFO.... the requirements are correctable to 20/20. I have something around 20/600. Bad enough that my optomitrist doesn't even try to categorize me on the 20/ scale because it doesn't mean anything so far down.
Yep. Even pilots can wear glasses.

right...but let's not mislead. Pilots need to have uncorrected vision no worse than 20/40
Eh, I have vision jsut as bad and my doc puts me on the 20/ scale, what kind of doc do you have?
Yeah but I would want them to put me to sleep because I can't even put a contact in my eye but I only have to wear glasses when I drive. What is it when both of your eyes are -3.00, in terms of 20/ whatever?
I'd say it's worse than just wearing glasses for driving. It's definitely >20/100. I've never heard of anyone getting a general for PRK.

Can you read the top line?
In a real vision test, no. And it is not always the same letter, I have seen/not seen K, R, S etc.
When they measured my glasses at NAMI for the whammy they said my glasses were over the limit for SNFO by a little bit (I would not worry about the limit too much, my eyes are really bad
). They 'tweaked' my prescription to just under the limit (they said it was not uncommon) and I passed with them on with 20/20 vision.....and then never wore them again. I have always used my civilian glasses/contacts.
