Hey everyone,

I was wondering If I will require a medical waiver or remedial. I have 20/25 vision in both eyes for distance and 20/20 for near vision. The optometrist I think said a -0.25 prescription in the right eye and a -0.75 in the left. He said there was nothing to worry about but I wanted confirmation if anyone was in my position. Both eyes are correctable to 20/20. I find this surprising because I've always been tested at 20/20 at my family doc. Will this force me to get a medical waiver or is this not a big deal? The optometrist claimed there would be no delay as its near perfect vision but I'm not sure if he was just trying to pacify me. Any advice or knowledge of what might happen?
 
Did the eye doctor mention of any astigmatism?

If he didn’t, then you’re good.

You’re correctable to 20/20 distance and your refractive error (-0.25 and -0.75) is within standards.

You didn’t mention other numbers which speaks to astigmatism. I don’t think you have any. You’re good
