Hi everyone,

Sorry it's me again...

Quick question about the vision requirements for the Cadet Programme or any commercial pilot jobs.
I have asked numerous people (flying and non-flying), and was told that as long as vision is correctable then I shall pass Class 1 medical (Vision part).
My concern is, is there a limit to how "bad" your eyes can be prior to correction?
I was told that people over -3.00 are usually considered legally blind.
I am in the -4.00 zone and have astigmatism of 1.50 and 1.75.

Thanks!
