Lots of good information in this thread, so thanks. However much of it, to me, is like reading a foreign language, and thus I'm still a bit confused on where I would stand in terms of being waiverable or not. I just had my routine eye checkup today, and everything was fine, but I did ask for what my prescription was as well as what my 20/whatever was so that I could post them here.
My prescription reads:
SPH. CYL. Axis
-2.25 +1.00 008
-2.50 +1.50 165
Also I asked to do the typical eye chart and came out as 20/100. I guess my eyes might be a bit better than that number because I took the test after my eyes had been dilated, but I don't think I'm better than 20/70.
But I guess my question is, am I within waiverable limits or is surgery in my future?
Thank you in advance.
