Pretty sure you'll be fine - your prescription is very mild - you are allowed up to 5 dioptres of refractive correction on each eye (you have a quarter of a dioptre required in each) and something like 3 dioptres of astigmatism (you have half a dioptre in one eye, three-quarters in the other). As long as glasses/contacts can correct your vision (which seems almost certain to me with such a slight prescription, but I am not an optician) I see no problem.

Sorry to have to hedge this with disclaimers about not being an optician, I'm as certain as I could be that you're OK (I've been looking into this recently too as I have a similar prescription along with some colour vision deficiency) but wouldn't want to mislead you either.

My AME will review the results next wednesday (i'll be so nervous for the best part of a week) but the optician stated that i will be fine. I am a little nervous and in need of some reassurance that everything will be ok. My n14 and n5 is perfect. My vital stats are:

Uncorrected ,Corrected

right 6/12, 6/5
left 6/12, 6/5
Binocular 6/11, 6/4

unifocal (s/v distance recommended)

Sphere, Cylinder, Axis, Near (add)
right -0.25, -0.75, 90, n/a
left -0.25, -0.50, 25, n/a

Please reassure me everything is ok

Kind Regards
