Hello,

I fear if your eyesight is 6/18 and 6/24, you might not be eligible for CDS because the eyesight must be 6/6 without glasses. It should be under 6/12 if one is wearing glasses. However, candidates with glasses can not join the Air Force branch.

Eye correction surgery could be one option if you are above 20.
