ive just finished talking to a soldier on the army.mod.uk website about eyesight and this is what i got:
"Eyesight Standards The standard personal weapon is the SA80 and this requires vision in the right eye to be correctable to no less than 6/9. Vision in the left eye must be correctable to no less than 6/36. Spectacle correction must be no greater than -7diopters or +8 in any meridian. Certain types of surgery or laser treatment to correct visual defects are unacceptable and clarification should be sought prior to application."
okay i understand the stuff about eye surgery and the -7 diopters or 8+ in any meridian (i think thats what is on the glasses perscription :S?)
but what is the 6/9 on the right eye
and 6/36 on the left eye??
what does it mean??
do i need to get a certain amount of letters in the eye test or what :S lol
PLEASE HELP
