kidd23 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Can anyone help? I just took my flight physical and only one of my eyes has an astigmatism of 1.25, 0.25 above the allowable range. My eyesight is 20/20 and 20/25 and my better eye is 1.00 which are all within range. I'm a S2S/civilian and I read that the army will allow waivers for 0.75 out of range. Is this true for a S2S or only AD? What are my options? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlightning54 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Youll be fine. I have astigmatism and they gave me 5 pairs of prescription glasses and a contact prescription for flight school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowlurker Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Youll be fine. I have astigmatism and they gave me 5 pairs of prescription glasses and a contact prescription for flight schoolThey let you rock contacts? I've been debating whether to use the civilian glasses they gave me underneath the helmet or if there is a better alternative. I wish the helm had prescription lenses, considering how expensive those freaking things are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrok14 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I found out same thing during my class 1 flight phys. it was .25 past the waiverable on my left eye. Ended up getting lasik refractive surgery, which pushed my packet back 5 months... I'll be on November board. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to have prescription glasses in your flight bag with you on the helicopter. I keep a pair in my bag, and wear them if I forget my contacts or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
