Eyesight requirements for RMP?

[Ezrolith]

Hello,

After trying to find out the eyesight requirements for the RMP twice at my local army careers centre and failing - i'm wondering if anyone knows them off hand, and for any other branches. From the website, I get the impression some divisions have less harsh restrictions than others, does anyone know if there's an overall minimum? With contact lenses my eyesight unsuprisingly is high, but I think this may stop me getting in... which is a shame as i am very determined on joining the Army, especially the RMP....

My standards....

Visual Acuity Right Left
Distance Unaided 6/60 6/60-
Distance Aided 6/5 6/5
Near Unaided N5 N5
Near Aided N5 N5

Refraction SPH CYL AXIS
Right -275 +025 175
Left -325 +075 10

Think there should be a decimal place in there somewhere but i'm not sure... i don't know how it works. Got no colour perception problems, just the 6/60 thing, and it's already stopped me doing alot of things i'd like to do. If i can't join the RMP, something i've always wanted to do - because of this i don't know what i'll do instead

You'll be fine mate. The cutoff point is -6 diopters, plus the AGC tend to have less stricter requirements than the direct combat regiments.

next time you go for an eye test leave your guide dog outside along with your white stick.
