If one has an eyesight of -3.75 (20/20 with glasses/contacts) will the Govt. of India still allow conversion of licenses?
Buddy,
That is not your eyesight but merely your prescription. If you do not know your eyesight (ie. 20/100, 20/200, etc.) then just check the back of the FAA medical form that the FAA medical examiner completed. If you do not have it then you can always get a free copy from Ok City. You can also ask a local practitioner to let you read an eye chart and give you the details.
Good luck!

What the visual acuity(uncorrected) standards for an Indian class I medical?
Is there also a limit on the prescription strength? Is LASIK acceptable?

Hiya!
Indian standards are available 'somewhere' on the net. While searching something else, I happen to visit their site. But now I am unable to find it!
Try to Google it! It is a Pdf document on a army related website!
I am sorry for not being able to offer any more information. I would get back if I find the link!
Good Luck!

LASIK is a void as per DGCA Source, they dont have set norms.. they deal is "Case by Case" basis or watever... although some airlines have banned candidates with LASIK done.
