oh and another thing, i have posted this at the wannabe section before and will post it here one more time. just in case
chiang, a VA of more than 6/60 will be registered as BLIND in the UK. 6/60 VA can be computed as loss of visual acuity of 80%. in my honest opinion, if you can wear refractive lenses chances are you are not blind.

so when MAS asked for a 6/60 visual acuity as a minimum, i guess what they meant was they don't want a blind person as a candidate for their cadet. I can't quite see how MAS would lower the visual requirement more than that.
