Eye test help

My eyes are okay I believe, I can see fine with both eyes open but when I cover my right eye my vision is blurred in my left (not at really short distances). I'm wondering what the eye test is for joining the RM, do they ask you to read the chart with both eyes open or is it one my one? My colour perception etc. is fine.
Thanks, Jake.

What are you saying, that you eyes are fine but in the other hand you can't see out of one of them properly

You will be tested for colour perception and visual acquity. Yes, you will have to close each eye (not at the same time). It is a fairly standard eye test that has specific requirments for the RM. You can't cheat it.
