Pointless focus on a meaningless aspect of a candidate
The question here should be 'Can this candidate's eyesight be corrected to 20.20?'. If the answer is yes then why can't they then take up a place on flying training given that if your eyesight detiorates during training then you simply get corrective lenses. The RAF is worse off for losing good officers and pilots (sorry, silly me, that should be the other way round) for this anachronistic view. I wear contacts and am pretty blind without them, hasn't stopped my military avn career one bit.
