Unfortunately we can not give individual medical advice. If you apply you will be assigned a support manager and when you talk to a medical officer they can talk you through the process and your options. Good luck.

PS, I have this and wear glasses and it has never held me back.

As mentioned above, we cannot give any information on medical as we aren’t qualified.

I believe that the right eye has to be a minimum standard uncorrected (without glasses or contacts)

However, when you have attended your army brief after applying online, you will be given and opticians form for you to take to the opticians to complete and return to the NRC.

Your eyes will be tested again at assessment centre.

You can have glasses/contact lenses in the infantry, you will issued glasses too.

What are you looking to join?

To add to the above, weapon systems have to be fired with the right hand/right eye due to the round ejection from the right.
