Ok so I havent been to the eye doctor in over 3 years and I had a feeling my vision wasent going to be to good. But today I went and I get a 20/16. Im so happy, will having 20/16 increase my chance to be hired by the air force? Also does anyone know how big of a difference it is between 20/20, 20/16 and 20/10? Also is there any ways to increase my eye sight?

If you want to be a pilot, the vision requirement is 20/20 and there are lots of applicants that meet that standard si i dont think that your eye sight will give you an edge.
If you are interested on the technician side......20/16 wont matter as the vision requirement for those trades is not that high.

Bear in mind that there is more to the standard than simply being able to see 20/20 uncorrected: they do a bunch of other eye tests which may or may not be acceptable, 20/20 (or better) vision notwithstanding.

20/16 puts you in the V1 category along with people who have 20/20. It means you meet the standard,
but it doesn't give you an edge. To answer you question about the fractions, check the link above.
