Eyesight
Hello chaps and chapettes,
I'm wanting to join the Fleet Air Arm after uni and had my medical for the RNR the other day. The RN Doctor said that I was all fit and fine for aircrew however the one thing that was letting me down was my left eye. ( R -0.75 L-1.00 ) the standards are both eyes have to be the maximum -0.75. The doc said cause it was off by a 'whisker' and then showed me the opticians documents where I was ticked for VA1 but then changed to VA2 saying that the opticians must of changed his mind to rightfully put me in VA2, but shows just how close I was to passing as VA1 for aircrew. The doctor said to me after uni if I were to join up they'd probably give me another eye test and recommended I started to wear my glasses ( as I never wear them ) and to drink lots of water to try and hydrate my eyes. I was wondering, would this even work?
regards
