Hello,

You can definitely still join the army if you wear glasses (I did!), but you will need to meet certain eye sight standards. Our entry requirements are always being updated, but last time I looked you needed a prescription better than +6 or -6 without your glasses on. If yours is worse than that, it is still worth starting an application on the Army website and the medical team will be able to advise you of the current entry requirements.
