In a nutshell, yes and no.

Yes, there are military pilots who wear glasses. Unfortunately, for you these are pilots who started out with perfect eyesight which then deteriorated marginally some years after they were already on the job.

No, the RAF or any other organisation is not going to select someone for pilot training who already wears glasses when they can choose from thousands who don’t – why would they?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news (I discovered all of this first hand myself many years ago).

All the best, and good luck.
