Is it really required for a pilot to have good eye sight? My basic knowledge says that it is not necessary for a pilot to have good eye sight,  he can use spectacles.

In an article I came to know that :
The United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority state the following:

‘An applicant may be assessed as fit with hypermetropia not exceeding +5.0 dioptres, myopia not exceeding -6.0 dioptres, astigmatism not exceeding 2.0 dioptres, and anisometropia not exceeding 2.0 dioptres, provided that optimal correction has been considered and no significant pathology is demonstrated. Monocular visual acuities should be 6/6 or better.’

*Above eye problems are high level of eye defect.

• We should be worried on normal eye problem a serious problem to become a pilot ?
Here are the guidelines regarding medical qualifications (including eyes) for obtaining a U.S. medical certificate:


From the FAA's "Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners" (Link is here)
From FAR Part 67- MEDICAL STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATION (Link is here)


Hope this helps.
