Just had my eyes tested at Specsavers before I go through the whole RAF application process, and would like to know if they're good enough for pilot training, given the latest requirements:

Right:
Sph: +0.25
Cyl: -0.75
Axis: 90.0

Left:
SPh: 0.00
Cyl: -0.25
Axis: 53.0

Other notes the optician made:
Muscle Balance, no movement (D+N I think he wrote next to it)
Convergence <10
Stereopsis 60 Sec arc
Uncorr 6/6
Corr 6/4
Accomm approx 8cm

The last update to the requirements I saw was in 2014/2015 when someone submitted an FOI request, but somebody here may know of more up to date requirements.

Mods: Sorry if there's already a thread, I've found a few threads but a lot of them are very old, dating back to around 2005-2008. The requirements have changed very slightly since then I believe
