RAF eyesight - Really pathetic if true!!
Hello,
I have just had an optometrist look over my eyes and have received the results. I also had her check me for colour blindness with the Ishihara (colour dot test) among others.
The colour blindness test was fine, with category 2.
My left eye has Plano sight but my right eye is -0.25 spherical. According to websites I've seen listing RAF requirements they don't accept anything other than values between Plano and +1.75.
I was told by the Optician that -0.25 is practically true vision and a small imperfection that would not stop me being a pilot.
Anyone know if the RAF have denied anyone, or yourself based on this slight imperfection?
The role I'm applying for is a Pilot by the way.
Thanks in advance,
George.
