    Re: Does eyesight prohibit access to piloting

    So if someone wanted to be a search and rescue helicopter pilot for the air force, they couldn't wear contacts? someone told me that you could have 20/40 vision with any correction (Without wearing contacts,lasik?) but it needs to be correctable to 20/20. I mean I'm going to be going into highschool soon, and i had an herpes simplex virus in my right eye i got it when i was three. and ever since i've been going to a hospital in iowa city, and with a contact my eyes are 20/30 or 20/35. If my eyesight won't allow me to become a miliary sar pilot, should i pursue a different career? Or should this not affect anything?

    THANKS SO MUCH!

    I'd really appreciate it if someone could reply..
