20/20 eye-sight
Hi fellow forumers,
I read through the forums and found much useful information. Thank you for all your inputs.
OK, here is my question: To be considered for the cadet pilot position, I aware that I should have 20/20 eye sight with or without glassess. I do not need glasses and I don't think I have any eye disease but I was unsure whether my sight can meet the requirement. I therefore went to a optical shop last night and told the staff that I want a pair of glasses to correct my sight to 20/20. The technican conducted the test for me but he could not get the suitable lens for me to see all the words on the 20/20 board clearly (I can only get half of them correct). Does this mean that I do not have the required sight? I am wondering if the test is reliable enough (the room was a bit dim). Also, I want to know is the 20/20 actually a very stringent requirement? or actually most of the people can get a 20/20 sight with the help of glassess?
Thanks in advance.
Tony
