Vision question!!!!

I am starting to get my stuff together for applying, but I have a question. Does anyone know what your vision has to be to get accepted? I have really lousy eyesight in one eye even when it is corrected. The thing is that I was in enlisted in the Marine Corps for 4 years. I had to get a waiver then. I was wondering if anyone has came across this or knows the answer to my question.

Oh....I am trying to be a supply officer so I was assuming that it wouldnt be that much of a problem. My recruiter said that I shouldn't worry about it, but I dont want to take the ASTB and then get to MEPS and be disqualified.

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
 
Ok, on my contacts box It says for my perscription:
-2.75 8.6 14.2 2006/11

I have no idea what any of those numbers mean except for the 2006/11. Anyone know? I assume the -2.75 is the part for +/- 8.00 but am unsure. I have Meps June 1 and my vision is my major concern, but it is correctable to 20/20 so maybe I should not stress. I am also applying for a supply position.

The -2.75 is called your diopeters, which has to be below -8.00. You're fine.

Was yours correctible or was the -9.00 after being corrected?

It was -9.00, correctable to 20/20. I wouldn't be able to funciton if I was -9.00 after correcting, because MEPS listed me as 20/800.
