Hi. I just recently applied for the primary reserve. I want to go in as a marine technician. I have quite bad eyesight in just one eye, uncorrected it is very very bad only in just ONE eye, like I cannot read or make out any words  in my right eye without glasses. With glasses it’s still pretty bad but it’s much better. My left eye however is almost perfect, my prescription for my left eye is close to nothing. In my left eye I cannot tell when my glasses are on or off the prescription is so light.

My questions are:

Obviously they test both eyes but, do they keep score on an average of both eyes, or they keep score on the better or worse eye?

What are the standards for marine technician, does it generally sound like I am meeting them somewhat or am I disqualified?

Do they test you uncorrected or corrected?

Thank you guys so much!
