    understanding a prescription for Army requirements
    I need help understanding my prescripton and then applying it to requirements given by the Army Air Corps.

    My eyesight at the moment is
    Sph Cyl Axis
    Right= -1.00 -1.00 82 1/2
    Left= -1.25 -1.00 92 1/2

    The requirements are=

    lens power: minus .75 dioptres to plus 1.75 dioptres
    astigmatism: maximum .75 dioptres

    If anyone could help me to whether my eyesight is good enough for the requirements I would be really grateful...

    I don't know why you have to do this on your own. Doesn't the Army Air Corp have opticians who determine that? Is this not included in a complete physical to find out if you are suitable for recruitment ?

    I am not currently applying for the AAC but I am thinking about it. Therefore at the moment I would like to know if my eyesight is good enough before I apply during Sandhurst.

    The Sphere (Distance) is within the required range, but the Cylinder (Astigmatism) is not.
