Uniformed services and vision defects

A career in uniformed services has always been your dream? It would seem that you have practically all the predispositions. You are an active, ambitious person, you can boast about good health, both physical and mental. There is only one thing - a vision defect that you do not even think about on a daily basis (because of the contact lenses). Of course, it would be better if your eyesight was perfect - but so far it did not bother you. Until you have decided to apply for your dream job, that is. Suddenly, it turns out that your dreams are crushed, due to an opinion of the medical committee.

Unfortunately, there are jobs in which a 20/20 vision is crucial and suffering from high myopia or hyperopia disqualifies you instantly. In the police, the permissible visual defect is +/- 3 dioptres. The situation is similar in the army, although in this case, also, the character of the individual is of great importance. There are some jobs that have even stricter requirements.

Regardless of whether you want to become a police officer, firefighter, or professional soldier, the sight defect can significantly thwart your plans. Should you then give up on them? Not necessarily. In the end, the defect can now be corrected in many ways and some methods allow you to get rid of your vision problems permanently. Of course, best example of such method is laser vision correction.

The treatment is quick, painless and may be the most crucial element on the way to fulfil your dreams. If you are already planning to join the police, army or a fire brigade, be sure to consider laser vision correction beforehand. Do not count on getting through a medical commission. Requirements in the uniformed forces are very strict, and the parameters of admissible vision defect are very high.
