Your pilot has glasses? I thought they require perfect sight for flight courses. Or are recreational vehicles governed differently?,(reply>), @Lucas Williams I have a friend that works in civil aviation. She wanted to be a pilot but they wouldn't let her because of bad sight. She now has a desk job. Maybe there's more to her story, but I had never seen a pilot with glasses before and thought it's a given.<br><br>It's nice to hear there's still chance though.,(reply>), A commonly held myth that pilots require perfect sight to train. Not really sure where it comes from as I was considering the career for a long time and it was never cited as a barrier by the flight school as long as I had corrective lenses. In fact, my lack of funds was the only real barrier to that job. Innate talent, physical fitness and a clean bill of health are more important than whether you need to wear lenses or not. Besides, many people find that their sight begins to deteriorate once they hit  middle age to at least some extent (even if they've had excellent vision for all their lives). There'd be an awful lot of pilots retiring in their late 30s and 40s if perfect eyesight was required.<br><br>Perhaps the one exception would be fast jet pilots - I guess it's possible that these guys MIGHT require near-perfect vision, but it's important to remember that fast jet flight is a whole different ball game to any other type of flying full stop - of course the demands will be higher.,(reply>), +Raven Crow perfect sight with corrective lenses is perfectly fine pretty much everywhere. Many, many commercial pilots wear glasses. Probably more than the general population, because the regular eye tests pick up problems that may go untreated in the normal population.,(reply>), +Raven Crow You are thinking of military fighter pilots.,(reply>), @Raven Crow there are laws which determine how strong the glasses are, you need. But by law you always have t have a second with, in case the one youre wearing gets cracked or something.. (same thing with sunglasses)
