I am interested in joining in Indian army but I have got an eye sight problem. What to do?

Hi Prajwal, The eyesight requirement for the post of officer in Indian army is mentioned below: Uncorrected without glass 6/12 Corrected with glass 6/6 Limits of Myopia 3.5 Limits of Hypermetropia +2.5 Binocular vision III Limits of Colour Perception I 1. A candidate should be able to read 6/6 in a distant vision chart with each eye with or without glasses. Myopia should not be more than 3.5D and hypermetropia not more than 3.5D including Astigmatism. For women candidates the minimum acceptable visual acuity are: Distant vision (corrected)better eye 6/6 worse 6/18, Myopia of not more than minus 5.5 including Astogination. 2. Internal examination of the eye will be done by means of ophthalmoscope to rule out any disease of the eye. A candidate must have good binocular vision. The colour vision standard will be CP-III for Army A candidate should be able to recognize red and green colours. 3. Candidates who have undergone or have the evidence of having undergone Radial Keratotomy, to improve the visual acuity, will be permanently rejected. 4. Candidates who have undergone laser surgery for correction of refractive error will be considered for commission in Army So, if you have a considerable trouble with the eyesight, you can probably think of going for a laser eye treatment.
