I used to have asthma

[StudentInWisconsin]

I am currently a junior in high school with all A's, in many AP courses, on the wrestling team and involved in extracurriculars, and I am seriously considering applying to the Naval Academy. In the 4th grade I was diagnosed with asthma, but I have since "grown out of it" by being physically active and playing the saxaphone. I no longer take any sort of medication for asthma and do not experience symptoms. Will my history of asthma disqualify me from attending the

On a seperate issue, my eyesight is very bad but is correctable to 20/20, and I have seen so much conflicting information about the Naval Academy's policy towards vision. Could somebody please explain to me what is disqualifying with regards to vision. Thanks in advance.
