Dear all,

I would really like some clarification on what the situation is at CX for people who are short-sighted. I myself am short-sighted (-5.0 (20/500) for each eye). It is said that you vision needs to be CORECTABLE to 20/20. Still, are there any limits?? Is -5.0 at a very borderline level? Overall, what are the chances for a person who is short-sighted to get in to the cadet program?? I'm in second year university and plan on applying to CX after I graduate.

Any answers would be highly appreciated,

TK

Hi TK,

I applied for CX cadet scheme a couple of years ago and was rejected because of my eyesight (-4.00) They have been gradually relaxing their eyesight requirement, but don't know what their exact position is now.

BTW
