  1. Need some help from any docs or any one who can help on this subject. Just went to Wright-Patt last week for an FC1 exam and was medically disqualified. All went well with the physical until I got to the optometrist. After completing the evaluation and work up, the doctor told me I have an excessive Esophoria at 16 diopters of deviation. At that point, he told me I was disqualified with no waiver that will be submitted. The optometrist told me my only avenue now is a congressional waiver which might be very hard to get since I am outside of regulations and acceptable standards. I did well on all other eye tests such as depth perception, red lens test, visual acuity and cycloplegic refraction. To my knowledge, this was the only issue I had during the eye exam in regards to ocular motility. I've set up an appointment with an optometrist next week to get a second opinion and possible consultation for surgery. I read that surgery is disqualifying, but may be considered for waiver given that you pass all eye tests. I'm definitely contemplating surgery but not sure if it is worth it or what risks are involved with the surgery. I am a non-prior guy joining the Guard, slated to fly C-130's. I was just given OTS and UPT dates a few weeks ago.
