Can you join the para’s if you wear glasses. My eyesight with prescription is within the allowed limit for the army

My eyesight with prescription is -2 so I would be able to join standard roles but don’t know if glasses stop me for joining the para’s as they could cause issues when it comes to actually jumping out of planes

    Hello, you can be in the paras with corrected vision. You will actually be given prescription inserts for your ballistic glasses for exercise and jumps. Thanks.
