I am in the process of applying for an NFO slot. my vision is not bad at all but according to the numbers my civilian eye doctor gave me I would be considered NPQ for NFO. my vision is 20/30 left 20/40 right uncorrected, and can be corrected to 20/20, however it seems as if my astigmatism would disqualify me. My asigmatism is -3.25 left and
-3.50 right. according to the NAMI guidlines the refractive limit for astigmatism is -3.00 placing me outside of that limit.
Do these numbers make sense for someone with distance acuity of 20/40? I understand that refractive errors dont necessarily determine vision acuity but this seems crazy.
Are NFO applicants eligible for a PRK waiver? accordimg to the refractive limits given by NAMI a
pre-op astigmatism of greater than -3.00 will make you ineligible for a PRK waiver. Does this hold true for both pilot applicants and NFO applicants.
