Luca Brasi, eyesight min crit (for entry):. .1) MVR1 visual acuity no worse than 6/12 unaided each eye, and atleast 6/6 in each eye corrected.. .2) Hypermetropic Astigmatism no worse than +0.75 Dioptres each eye.. .3) Myopia -1.00 each eye. .4) Myopic Astigmatism no worse than -0.50 dioptres. .5) near vision N5 or better after correction

as stated above, I bummed out on stronger myopia (-2.75). LASIK is now permitted (along with another type of refractive surgery, but forgot which one!), but I don't know the conditions. Best bet to phone recruiting, they will put you through to the medical staff (who by now should be aware of the changes), and they will be able to answer your questions with better accuracy.

Good Luck,

PS: I'm quite sure that once you're in, there would be a new set of 'rules'. If you end up finding them out, please drop us a line.
