Vision Question

[cletislj04]

If I am correct, you have to have 20/20 vision to have a first class medical. Can you still get a first class medical if you use contacts or glasses, and your vision is 20/20 corrected? Why do people talk about losing there medical due to vision if they can use contacts or glasses to correct it? Thanks

As long as your vision is correctable using contacts or glasses, you are fine. Military is another story.

Vision v. Medical

You might have to take a vision restriction on your medical for corrective lenses, but you can get a First.

Thank goodness, the FAA chilled on vision SODAs.

Your distant viaual acuity has to be 20/20 or better but your near vision only has to be 20/40 or better.
