    Eyesight Waiver for West Point

    Currently, my vision in my left eye is 20/60 and in my right eye 20/20. However, in my left eye, I also suffer from amblyopia. Regardless, I understand that for West Point, your vision must be corrected to 20/20, which is not the case for my left eye. How often do they hand out waivers in cases...
