I have recently been granted a waiver for mild allergies by the USNA. I was disqualified for my allergies, but this was my only disqualification. I was suprised! I was for sure I would also be disqualified for my eye sight. Was there any reason I did not receive a disqualifcation for my sight? Thanks.

The vision requirements for USNA changed earlier in 2010. It used to be +/- 6 and now it is +/- 8, the same as for USAFA and USMA.
