I am currently working into one of the reputed airlines. Cabin crew job is a very responsible job. Cabin crew needs to take care of the passenger safety and first aid. Various criteria to become cabin crew are set for a reason. Height factor is decided as in case of emergency situations, the cabin crew needs to reach the over head bins for the safety equipments. Similarly, all criteria have a valid reason. If you have positive or negative power, you can wear a lens as many airlines do approves it. I have the power of -7. 5 in both eyes. I wear contact lens during flight. I got all this guidance from the academy I studied from.

Hi Manju,
The Cabin crew have a different working pattern than the flight crew and are
required to work longer hours. Cabin Crew is required to be on board to
assist in case an aircraft emergency evacuation is necessary. In addition,
they are in-flight first responders who are trained to handle smoke and fire
incidents, medical emergencies including Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation
etc
Normal flying hours are somewhere between 70-100 hours weekly.However this may differ depending on the resource available, fleet time etc
Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
Wish you luck.
