[Arun Vats]

Here I am providing the detailed information regarding the Eyesight Requirements for Indian Air Force which you are looking for .

Applicants must have 6/6 in one eye and 6/9 in other, which can be correctable to 6/6 only for hypermetropia.

Vision Defects
Astigmatism must be +0.75 D Cyl with +2.0 D maximum

Near Vision must be N-5 each eye.

Manifest hypermetropia must not exceed +2.0D Sphere.

No Myopia.

Near vision is determined using "Times Roman" type and is assessed at reading distance (30-50 cm) and at 100 cm.

BRIGHTNESS at 6 metres (20 feet) distance in complete darkness.

The 100-cm distance is important in the aircraft cockpit and similar environments and for users of CRT displays.

When two values are shown, such as N5 and N14, the first value refers to the reading distance (30-50 cm) and the second value to the 100-cm distance.

Color Vision must be CP-1(ML T). Color Perception-1: The correct recognition of coloured lights shown through the paired apertures on the Holmes-Wright lantern at LOW

LASIK Surgery
LASIK Surgery for correction of vision is admissible in Transport and Helicopter streams of Short Service Commission

The axial length of the eye should not be than 25.5 mm as measured by IOL master.

LASIK Surgery should not have been carried out before the age of 20 years.

At least twelve months should have lapsed post uncomplicated stable LASIK. No history or evidence of any complication.

The post LASIK corneal thickness as measured by a corneal pachymeter should not be less than 450 microns.

Candidates must not suffer from colour or night blindness.

Individuals with high refractive errors (>6D) prior to LASIK are to be excluded.
