Question question for CC trainers/recruiters

(Should this be in Medical? Hmm...)

I'm trying to get into a ground ops or even perhaps CC role.... just one thing that's been bugging me....

I wear glasses for a couple of reasons, mainly, I'm shortsighted, but I also have what's called a nystagmus (sp?) where sometimes my eyes appear to shake. I've never had a problem with it, usually doesn't affect my vision. Only thing is, other people do sometimes notice it, a couple have even called it "freaky"

Would this affect a decision to hire me as CC? I ask because I wonder if a recruiter would be reluctant to hire me because they'd worry it might weird people out. As I said, it's not usually very noticeable, only occasionally if I'm very tired.... (I like to think people are more likely to notice my smile )

Second, what kind of restriction is there for glasses-wearing... E.g. a certain percentage of good vision, certain conditions etc. Contacts have been suggested but unfortunately are not an option for me....

So, will it affect my chances....?

(Even if I have once used it to freak out a difficult customer.... )
