many times decisions are based on visual interpretations, so, the expectations and requirements are high.

laser eye surgery is on the rise though, so policies are rapidly changing.

they are also about as high as basic spelling and grammer requirements...

it depends on what you want to do, flying take perfect, ground ops can take allot worse than perfect!!!

A refractive index which exceeds plus or minus 8 diopters of refractive error is disqualifying. It is waiverable in some cases. Here are the corrected vision standards. Anything worse is disqualifying:
20/20 in the better eye, 20/400 in the other.
20/30 in the better eye, 20/100 in the other.
20/40 in the better eye, 20/70 in the other.

Go sign the papers and the enlistment doctor will tell you no or go...
