Hey check out this site….!
http://www.improvingmyeyesight.com/rebuild.html
The site offers a program of eye exercises to improve your vision. Actually, the creator of the program, Orlin Sorensen, had a very similar situation like you… he wanted to be a pilot, but didn’t have 20/20 vision. You can read his story on the site.
My vision is 20/400, which is really poor. I recently started doing the exercises to try to improve my vision. I created a blog where I record my progress with the exercises.
I recently saw some improvement. Other people (who have also experienced improvements) have posted comments about their experiences as well. You can check it out at: http://improvingmyeyesight.com/blog
Hope this helps….
I know if the air force you couldn’t have any type of astigmatism or eye issues. Had to have 20/20 uncorrected and no laser eye surgery of any type. I have read that the airlines are not as stringent in pilots but laser eye surgery is still seems forbidden. Get glasses and get your eye site corrected that way.
