Used to be that uncorrected vision had to be 20/20. That has been changed for Undergraduate Pilot Training to no worse than 20/70 uncorrected correctable to 20/20. A history of refractive surgery is still disqualifying. Contact lenses may be worn during flying duties.

Thanks Cholerajoe. I knew someone here would know.

Thanks for the info. I'm fascinated by the fact that some people can see so much better than I can. A man once told me that he could see an ant on a tree that was a good 30 feet from us. And damned if there wasn't an ant on that tree! I couldn't see it until I was about to kiss it.

I guess it's a different world now in the cockpit.
