eye sight regulations for cabin crew

[moxie]

does anyone know the minium eye sight requirement?
in fractions? for becoming a FA?

Is it standard across the board or does it differ between airlines?
Just got a letter back from one of the airlines I applied for and they turned me down due to the fact I wear contacts. :{

I´ve never heard earlier that you wouldn´t be allowed to wear contacts! I think the usual requirement for eye sight is +/-3 without correction , but some airlines allow even -5. Some don´t want you to wear glasses when on duty, but contacts are ok.

thanks for the reply NordicJetSet :)
i dont think the fact that i wear contacts was the problem, i think its my unaided vision that they consider a concern.

unaided im -2.75 and -3.25 :( so maybe sice ones over -3 then they couldn't take my application any futhuer?

still gutting tho

:ugh:
