The Eyes have it - All things Vision-related

No they don't. You need to get an eye exam from either MEPS or a military hospital/clinic to be qualified.
There is a chance I misunderstood my recruiter but I would like to clarify, how does one access a military hospital/clinic as a civilian for this purpose?

So if I was already cleared by MEPS for my physical on everything but my vision, would I be able to go back just for a retake of the eye exam? My recruiter had informed me that going back to MEPS was unnecessary.

Making Recruiting Great Again
you would need to see if your recruiter could work something out with the local MTF, but that can sometimes take months.

When it comes to MTFs, seems like Air Force is the worst. Two different NRDs, 3-4 Air Force Bases/Clinics in my AOR and none of them agreed to physical. Army is hit or miss. Seen some who have no problem and others where they won't allow civilians. Navy has been good for the most part, just depends on who the Clinic/Hospital CO is.

Can't see how it would be. It's analogous to a bruise. As long as there is no underlying disqualifying condition that caused the visible hemorrhage, I don't see a reason to even disclose it.
