Regimental Medical Officer
Hi David,
The majority of the army will need to have a prescription better than +6 or -6 in both eyes. However, our joining standards are constantly being updated, the most up to date information will be available from the medical team once you start your application. Unfortunately military doctors do not work in recruiting and so I am unable to be more specific.
