I have recently been professionally recommended for Navy OCS, pending medical review..which included submitting a waiver for my vision. Well, I found out Monday that my waiver was denied due to excessive refraction.
Left eye: -10.50, right: -8.00.
The max refraction for obtaining a waiver is -10.00.
So I submitted the last three eye exam records from my private doctors, hoping that something in them would be enough to overturn the denial.
I want this so bad, and to be denied because of 0.5 refractive error is hard to accept. My vision hasn't changed since I was 22. (I'm 26.) I realize this is for ROTC and Academy applicants, but I am looking for answers anywhere I can get them.
I am going to persist and keep at it until I get this waiver approved!
