Hello. I have a question about the SF medical qualifications in National Guard. I was told that you need 20/20 vision in BOTH eyes. I did PRK awhile back and currently I have 20/25 in left and 20/20 in my right. Is it possible to obtain a vision waiver once you’re in the Guard?

requirement is 20/20 correctable not natural as long as you can get 20/20 with corrective lenses you should be fine.

Oh okay. The reason why I’m confused is because the eye doctor that did my surgery said this is the most we can fix it for you. So you’re saying glasses can bring it to 20/20 even after surgery?

20/25 shouldn't drop your PULHES score, you are probably still a 1 in E. In any case, you only need a 111221 for SF.

Get second opinions first and talk with an eye doctor.
